Veteran Friendly Accredited GP Practice
We are a Veteran Friendly Accredited GP Practice. This means we have a dedicated Clinician who has a specialist knowledge of service related health conditions and veteran specific health services. This is important in helping Veterans to get the best care and treatment.
NHS Integrated Care Board
NHS North East and North Cumbria Integrated Care Board (ICB) is part of an Integrated Care System (ICS), a way of working that will see all organisations across the region combining their collective resources and expertise locally, and regionally, to plan, deliver and join up health and care so our communities can live happier and healthier lives.
GP Average Earnings
Disclaimer: NHS England require that the net earnings of doctors engaged in the practice is publicised, and the required disclosure is shown above. 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.
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 earnings for GPs working in The Garth Surgery in the last financial year was £88,518 before taxation and national insurance. This is for 8 part time GPs who worked in the practice for more than 6 months.
