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, nor to make any comparison with any other practice.

Named GP

In line with the current government initiative and to comply with our NHS contract all patients are now given a named accountable GP.

Newly registered patients will be allocated a named GP on registration.

You will be registered with Dr Anil Jain, but please note that this does not mean that you cannot see the GP of your choice and can book appointments with all GP’s.
