Each year the Doctors’ and Dentists’ Remuneration Body (DDRB) recommends an uplift for specific groups of salaried doctors and dentists, as determined by it’s remit.
As part of the recommendations that it makes annually, the Doctors’ and Dentists’ Remuneration Body (DDRB) publishes recommended pay ranges for salaried GPs.
GP partners should pass on the uplift to the salaried GPs working in their practice. The default salaried GP model contract entitles employees to "annual increments... each year in accordance with the Government's decision on the pay of general practitioners" following the recommendation of the DDRB.
Please check your contract, which may defer from the model salaried contract, for an uplift clause to confirm what you’re entitled to.
The DDRB recommended pay range, by nation, is outlined below:
Pay ranges by nation 2023/24
| Nation | Minimum | Maximum |
|---|---|---|
| England | 68,974 | 104,086 |
| Wales | 71,738 | 108,249 |
| Scotland | 69,993 | 104,468 |
| Northern Ireland | 69,974 | 105,592 |
