Female doctors earn £40,000 less than male colleagues due to ‘two-tier’ GP pay gap Women GPs earn an average of £40,000 a year less than their male colleagues – one of the worst gender pay gaps for any profession.
Researchers largely blame the 35 per cent pay gap on a two-tier system in which more men choose to operate as private contractors with the NHS, running their practice as a business.
The pay disparity can affect GPs of all ages and grades, according to the study by the Institute for Public Policy Research, which was shared with The Independent.
