Final Seniority Figures for GMS GPs in England 2018-19

Only data related to those GMS Contractor GPs with a full accounting year of superannuable income reported to the NHS Pensions Agency have been used in calculating the average superannuable income. If the full-year GPs have any superannuable income from other work outside their usual practice, whether in a contractor or salaried capacity, these have been included in order to calculate a total superannuable income figure for those GPs.

The following GP records have been removed from the average superannuable income calculation:

1. All non-GMS GPs, and any GPs with both a GMS and a non-GMS contract.
2. Any duplicate records.
3. Any non-contractor records with only full-year earnings.
4. Any GPs with only part year earnings.
5. Any contractor GPs as described above who have full year superannuable income between zero and £10.

In previous years, GP records that showed income solely received from NHS board and advisory work (i.e. Professional Executive Committee board) were also excluded. However, it is not possible to identify these GPs in the dataset from 2005/06.
