Publication of earnings
All GP practices are required to declare the mean earnings (e.g. average) for GPs working to deliver NHS services to patients at each practice.
The average pay for GPs working in the Bloomfield Medical Centre in the last financial year 2022/2023 before tax and National Insurance was £44,577.
This is for 4 full time GPs, 6 part time GPs, and 1 locum GP who worked in the practice for more than 6 months.
It should be noted that the prescribed method for calculating earnings is potentially misleading because it takes no account of how much time doctors spend working in the practice, and should not be used to form any judgement about GP earnings, nor to make any comparison with any other practice.
Zero tolerance
We do NOT tolerate abusive behaviour to any of our hard work staff in any way, and we take all cases of abuse to our staff very seriously.
This practice supports the national campaign for zero tolerance to all members of NHS staff, as we have a right to care for people without the fear of being attacked or abused in any way. Our staff are fully trained to be polite and helpful, and we expect the same in return for this. All forms of aggressive behaviour will not be tolerated, and we actively remove abusive patients from our surgery, and in some cases, contact the police.
Forms of abuse include, but are not limited to:
- Rude or explicit language.
- Physical violence.
- Threatening behaviour.
- Verbal abuse and insults.
- Racial abuse.
- Sexual harassment.
