Just about to start GPST3 and I'm wondering what salary to expect as a newly qualified GP. I've heard that anywhere from £10k-12k per session used to be the norm but recently I've seen some ARRS GP jobs being advertised for £8-9k per session. Has average pay gone down? Annual salary for a full time GPST3 is currently £78k (ST3 pay plus pay premium) should I expect a pay decrease once I qualify?

Also how many sessions is realistic for a newly qualified GP? Does 2 sessions equate to 1 day of work? Does anyone have any experience in supplementing their income with locums, private work or urgent care work on the side and what sort of numbers are realistic to expect?

Thank you in advance!
