GPs in poor parts of England are paid £5,500 less a year than in wealthy areas, study finds | Doctors
GPS works in the most deprived areas in England Average average salary is paid for a lower £ 5,525 per year than their counterparts working in the wealthiest areas, according to a study.
The report, by researchers at the University of Manchester and published in the Journal of the Royal Medicine Association, data analysis from more than 8500 GPS between 2015 and 2021 in GP survey Life Life.
In addition to the difference in salary, the study found that doctors working in the most deprived areas were more likely to face much higher stress related to patients with visual problems, insufficient resources with practice and finding a place cover.
The study, which is the first quantitative analysis that studies the relationship between population deprivation and the working life of the GPS (GPS) in England, said that there was no difference in working hours per week, job satisfaction and intention to resign between the most deprived and less deprived areas.
According to the author of the report, the difference in profits is due to the lack of money in the most deprived areas, where more resources are spent.
“Without investment interventions and targeted policies, the difficulties faced by GPS in the disadvantaged areas will only continue to exacerbate, which exacerbates health inequality,” said Dr. Michael Anderson, the main author of the study as well as a lecturer at Manchester University and GP.
He added: “In the most deprived areas, the partners earn less, and there is also less money. Partners cannot pay the same wages to GPS salaries in the most deprived areas for the wealthiest practices, which are better provided.”
Professor Matt Soton, a lecturer at Manchester University and a great writer for the study, said: “Although the inhabitants have higher needs for GP services, we know that these areas are more difficult to employ and keep GPS,” said Professor Matt Soton, a lecturer at Manchester University and a great study writer.
“Our study is the first to study how work in the disadvantaged areas affects the practical life of general doctors. Treating their concerns about increasing job pressure and low resources will help reduce health inequality.”
Last year, the Royal College of GPS (GPS) Urging the government For a fundamental repair of the way GP financing is customized throughout the country because it leads to the poorest areas that receive insufficient health care.
to divide health A spokesman for social welfare said: “The work of the broader doctors and workforce in NHS has been prolonged for years, while burning employees and frustration. Through our plan for change, this government makes the easier and more efficient GPS work – cut the red tape and reduce the burden by employing more than 1500 GPS since October.
“Our reforms will also deal with inequality in the horrific health care inside Britain today.”
