HELP US TO HELP YOU


GP Practices across the UK are closing and jobs are being lost nationally.  At Springfield we strive to provide the best possible and quality care to you.  We follow the BMA Safe Working Guidance, which recommends longer appointments but capped to a daily limit.  Offering a longer appointment helps with the increasingly complex health needs of the population.



The Government keep enforcing new contracts and demands on us, but there is only so much we can do safely in a day.  Consultations are available by telephone, face to face and online, but these are all appointments.  So please use these carefully and appropriately so that all patients get access when they need it.


The short video below explains what is actually happening. We get £107 per patient per year, or 30 pence a day, to provide your healthcare, whether you see us once in 10 years or see our healthcare team several times a week. 


Please see link below to video. 



GP Net Earnings

 

‘All GP practices are required to declare the mean earnings (average pay) for GPs working to deliver NHS services to patients at each practice.

The average pay for GPs working in Springfield Medical Practice in the last financial year 2023/24 was £68,712 before tax and National Insurance.

This is for 0 full-time GP’s, 6 part-time GP’s and 1 locum GP’s who worked in the practice for more than 6 months.’

‘NHS England require that the net earnings of doctors engaged in the practice is publicised, and the required disclosure is shown below. However 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.’
