A consultant gets £100k -> £140K ish from the NHS. However, many supplement that with private work and therefore make significantly more.
- Marazan 2y agoYeah, 100k is starting pay band for Consultants, 140k is after 14 years of service _as a consultant_. To get to the starting line of Consultant they have to go through the Residency gauntlet which start you off at 36k and hideous hours.
- sgt101 2y agoYup - I'm not saying it's good or fair, or bad and unfair. I'm just saying this is what it is.
- gadders 2y agoTo be fair though, they work for it. A consultant I saw recently did a full day with the NHS and they 3 - 4 hours of appointments in the evenings privately at a different hospital.
