All GP practices are required to declare the mean earnings (e.g average pay) for GP’s working to deliver NHS services to patients at each practice.

The average pay for GP’s working at Northbrook Group Practice in the last financial year was £77,037 before tax and national insurance. This is for 3 full time GP’s and 5 part-time GP’s who worked in the practice for more than 6 months.

As of Tuesday 24th March (inclusive) all pre-booked DOCTORS appointments are now cancelled. This included those patients who have already been contacted and had their appointments converted to a telephone consultation.

We like everyone else are assessing the on-going situation day by day. We therefore advise, if you do require medical assistance for urgent or routine matters to call on the day that you require assistance. Your call will then be triaged by a GP and dealt with accordingly, we will be unable to specify which GP this will be.

We thank you once again for your ongoing co-operation and support, but please remember STAY AT HOME, SUPPORT THE NHS, SAVE LIVES!

We are aware that paracetamol supplies are running low due to panic buying and as such we are receiving an increased demand for items such as; paracetamol & calpol.

Please note, we are unable to prescribe these items unless it is deemed as clinically appropriate, this is regardless of whether there are shortages of over the counter supplies.

All patients that have paracetamol issued as part of their normal medical prescription will have their prescription issued as normal, when due.

We thank your for your on going co-operation.
