Notes

1. This scale will apply only to GP principals on substantive University contracts (open-ended or fixed-term). Principals are those GPs that undertake a full share of the development and running of the service additional to normal surgery and duties. The term does not apply to locums or the equivalent of ‘salaried’ doctors who typically have little or no responsibility for the management of the practice and for whom separate salary arrangements will be made.  

2. In addition to the appropriate salary point and Practice Performance Bonus, principals will also receive reimbursement of their membership subscription for medical indemnity, and other pay elements determined and funded directly by the NHS, including postgraduate education allowance.

 

 

 

 

 

 

3. The starting salary for a new appointee will normally be Point 1 (or Point 2 in the case of the Deputy Head of the Students’ Health Service, or Point 3 in the case of the Head of the Students’ Health Service), but will be assessed according to previous experience and skills. Progression to higher points is not guaranteed and will depend on the performance of the individual in all aspects of the role including input to the running of the service and clinical competence.

 

 

 

 

 

 

4. Principles for progression will apply equally to all staff regardless of their status (full or part-time) and regardless of periods of family leave or sickness absence.

 

 

5. Each year (normally July) there will be a review that will:

6. The GP Salary Review Committee will carry out the review, with advice from the Head of the Student Health Service and information from the Practice Manager. Any recommendation for a cost of living increase in the salary for each point on the scale will be presented to the Chief People Officer for agreement. Given the volatility of NHS funding policy these pay arrangements will be renewed or modified on an annual basis. If changes in funding or other arrangements render them unworkable they will not be renewed and the University will seek to establish an alternative that keeps the pay of GP principals appropriately aligned to the general market pay of equivalent GPs. The continuation, modification or non-renewal of the arrangements will be at the discretion of the University, but the University will consult with the GP principals about any change with a view to reaching agreement on new arrangements.

*QOF targets aim to reflect the clinical quality of the service offered, whereas income alone does not. However, QOF points are then converted into money and will be an important contribution to practice income.
