A GP who earns over \u00a380,000 a year claimed she isn’t fairly paid for the role and warned future GP’s against the profession.\u00a0<\/p>\n
While the London-based GP said she ‘enjoys’ her job, she described it as ‘hard work’, and claimed they are asked to do a lot more than what they’re paid for.\u00a0<\/p>\n
In a now-viral TikTok\u00a0video Aydan Alsaad, known online for his ‘Pay Transparency’ videos, stopped the woman on the street to ask her what her job was.\u00a0<\/p>\n
It comes as senior medics walked out of hospitals across England this week as part of a 48-hour strike and as junior doctors and consultants participated in their first joint strike in the health service’s 75-year history.\u00a0<\/p>\n

In a now-viral TikTok video,\u00a0claimed she isn’t fairly paid for the role and warned future GP’s against the profession<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
In the interview, which took place in London, the woman said she ‘enjoys’ her job, but\u00a0 described it as a lot of ‘hard work’,\u00a0<\/p>\n
Responding to the TikToker’s question, the woman said she had been a GP for eight years and revealed she can make anything between \u00a380,000 and \u00a390,000 per year.\u00a0<\/p>\n
When asked if she is paid fairly, the GP quickly responded with ‘No’, explaining that she is asked to do a lot of work.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She said:\u00a0‘I think we are asked to do a lot more for not necessarily the patient just admin which takes a lot more time.’<\/p>\n
Responding to the TikToker’s question: ‘What advice would you give to anyone who wants to be a GP,’ the woman said: ‘Don’t do it,’ and advised that they undertake ‘any other profession.’<\/p>\n
She explained: ‘It’s a hard job if you want to do it for a rewarding job and a vacation then by all means do it but don’t do it for any other reasons.’<\/p>\n
While she said she enjoys her role, she said: ‘But I’m too far down the tunnel to take the turn back.’<\/p>\n
‘I do enjoy my job. I’m really happy doing what I’m doing but it’s hard work,’ she said.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The latest NHS data estimating the earnings and expenses of GPs in 2021-22 found that the average income for contractor GPs stood at \u00a3153,400 for contractor GPs and \u00a3118,100 for combined (contractor and salaried GPs).\u00a0<\/p>\n

Meanwhile the average pay for salaried GPs was \u00a368,00.\u00a0This is up from \u00a364,900 in 2020\/21 and \u00a363,600 in 2019\/20.<\/p>\n
In a report by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) from December 2020, it was found salaried GPs earn 180 per cent above the national average wage.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Since it was posted, the video has been viewed more than 1.5 million times and has raked in thousands of comments from TikTokers.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Many users are in agreement with the GP and have suggested she is not paid fairly, one person wrote: ’80K for a GP in London is quite poor.’<\/p>\n
One person added: ‘She’s a lovely doctor, really honest and she’s right in what she’s saying. It’s very hard work and a big responsibility.’<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, some were shocked at how much GP’s could make, one person wrote: ‘Did not think they made that much.’<\/p>\n
According to data from The Health Foundation, GPs provide a lower percentage of their appointments face to face compared with other patient care staff in general practice – with just 61 per cent of appointments in July 2023 taking place face-to-face.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Dennis Reed, director of Silver Voices, which campaigns for elderly Britons, described the rise in GP earnings as ‘eye-watering’ and said patients should expect a better service for the ‘huge’ amount partners are pocketing.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He told MailOnline: ‘GPs are now receiving huge salaries from the NHS and they can still do private work on the side.<\/p>\n
‘The least we can expect is that they do more to return the number of face-to-face appointments to pre-pandemic levels.’<\/p>\n
