Ye Gods! Even the specialists think we earn 100k. Wish the BMA would disabuse them of that ridiculous figure. 100k to begin -20k to pay for your for pension -4k for indemnity -4k for locum insurance -2k to pay for 2 weeks locum for a holiday -2k for other GMC, BMA, courses and associated guff to trade =the same old 70-75k per year but now we're running hard with QOF to achieve it.
