NHS England requires that net earnings of doctors engaged in the practice are publicised, and the required disclosure is shown below:
However, it should be noted that the prescribed method for calculating earnings is potentially misleading because it takes no account of how much time doctors spend working in the practice, and should not be used to form any judgement about GP earnings, or to make any comparison with any other practice.
The average pay for GPs working at Penketh Health Centre in the last financial year was £39,465 before tax and national insurance.
This is for 6 part-time GPs and 1 salaried GP.
We are very proud to be a training practice and we currently have 2 GP Registrars, Dr James Roberts and Dr Ahmed El Muntasar. They are both qualified Doctors who will be with us to further their experience of General Practice and complete GP training.
We are currently recruiting for another GP and ask that you bear with us until we can appoint another new GP.

Reception
All our Receptionists are trained Patient Advisors who provide an important link for patients with the practice and are your initial contact point for general enquiries. They can provide basic information on services and results and direct you to the right person depending on your health issue or query. Patient Advisors make most of the patient appointments with the GPs, ANPs and nurses. They also perform other important tasks such as issuing repeat prescriptions and dealing with prescription enquiries, dealing with financial claims, dealing with patient records and carrying out searches and practice audits. They work under guidance from the Partners. |
Health Visitors
| A health visitor is a registered nurse who has received training particularly related to babies, children and pregnant women. Their role is to provide families with children under five years old with support and advice around the general aspects of mental, physical and social wellbeing. |
Attached Staff
Our GPs are supported by a team of Advanced Nurse Practitioners, Practice Nurses, Health Care Assistants and Pharmacy Technicians who deliver a range of services. In addition we have a team of health visitors, school health advisors and midwives attached to the practice. Together, these disciplines offer a considerable level of expertise to the community. The practice also offers the services of a dietician, a chiropodist, a physiotherapist, a smoking cessation advisor, a mental health care team and an alcohol dependency counsellor. Your doctor can advise you on the procedure for making use of these services. |
