Consultant starts on £76k, rising to £102k by 19 years experience.
They can be awarded discretionary amounts up to around £20k on top of this for exceptional research/performance.
(Basic salary for a newly qualified doc is £23k - was just under £16k when I qualified in mid-90s)
Salaried GPs earn a minimum of £55k (for 40 hours) but most will earn £65-80k depending upon experience/demand.
GP partners get a share of the money left after the practice pays its expenses - typically a GP would earn around £120k if they had a list of around 1600 patients - this would be a gross amount subject to both employee and employer superannuation (approx. 30%) so would have a realistic salary equivalent around £105k (ie. around £90k + £15k that would be the employee's pension contribution).
Mileage varies quite substantially depending upon list size, practice size, private income (such as medicals) and so forth, but they'd be a fair guesstimate.
I suppose that means a typical GP earns about £65 per year to provide each of his/her patients with general medical services (with an average of 6 contacts per patient per year, so a tenner per appointment) - know any lawyers that charge £10 per appointment? ;-)
