Focus on salaried GPs

June 2004 (revised October 2007)

This guidance note has been produced by the General Practitioners Committee (GPC) to explain in detail the minimum terms and conditions for salaried GPs (the Model contract), which came into effect under the new General Medical Services (nGMS) contract on 1 April 2004.

Although there may be some differences in process in each of the four countries of the UK, the principles of this guidance apply to all.

While this guidance focuses on GPs employed by GMS practices and by Primary Care Organisations (PCOs) on or after 1 April 2004, it also advises those not employed under the Model contract (namely, those employed by an Alternative Provider of Medical Services (APMS), Primary Medical Services (PMS) practice or employed before 1 April 2004).
