a junior doctor (foundation year 1) starts on basic salary of £21,000. plus banding (a 20, 50, or 80% supplement, depending on overtime and perceived workload of job), most junior docs take home £31-32,000 before tax.
foundation 2 docs are on £25,000 basic, plus banding.
once specialty training starts thereafter, it climbs incrementally.
GPs (family doctors) are reputedly earning £106,000 on average and hospital consultants (attendings) on £110,000.
some docs supplement their salaries with private work too.
I know GPs get paid the most, but do all of the other specialties get paid the same wage?
I'm planning on going into radiology in the US, and i'm wondering what the pay is in europe? Also considering pediatrics so wondering about that too. If it's the same all across europe or just UK?
GPs certainly get paid a lot, and the common (mis?)perception is that they get paid too much - the top earners get just over 200k annually, but there's a fairly wide spectrum, I'd imagine.
Hospital consultants earn just over 100k on the NHS, as previously stated. However, they are allowed to take a 10% pay cut in order to do private work *in their own free time* outside of contractual requirements to the NHS - a lot of the consultants I know rush off to the local private hospitals after 5pm most days to run clinics/operate/see patients, and there's definitely a significant amount of weekend work going on. I have absolutely no idea how much the numbers add up to, but I have yet to see a consultant who isn't at least moderately well off, judging by their cars and addresses...
Taxes are about 40% or so, I think (for the relevant income bracket, of course). Please correct me if I'm wrong.
