get a similar income as GP´s
There are financial advantages to Allopathy !!! Family doctors enjoy a better lifestyle than hospital consultants, working significantly fewer hours for nearly the same money GPs better off than hospital consultants , according to research published today. The average consultant works 14 hours more a week than the average GP, according to a survey by Hospital Doctor magazine. The poll of 3,000 doctors found that only 36% of GPs now work out of hours, as their new contract allows them to opt out of providing that service, but the pay gap between them and hospital consultants is closing. The survey found average consultant earnings were £109,000 a year, including pay from private practice. It also found 15% earned more than £151,000 a year. Last year figures from the Association of Independent Medical Accountants predicted GP salaries would average more than £100,000 for 2005. Other medical accountancy firms have said there are GPs earning in excess of £150,000 - and even £180,000. The poll found that nearly half of consultants believe they have worse lifestyle than GPs, whereas only 16% of GPs thought they had a worse lifestyle than consultants. Almost two-thirds (62%) of consultants thought their lives comprised "too much work, too little play" compared to 40% of GPs. But consultants were more likely to live in more expensive properties than GPs. More than half (54%) had a main residence worth more than £400,000 - compared with 40% of GPs. Mike Broad, editor of Hospital Doctor, said consultants were being forced to plug the gaps in the provision of care left by the reductions in GPs' and junior doctors' hours. He said: "There are now significant advantages to being a GP when it comes to pay, training time and work-life balance." |
