Medical Research
This surgery and the doctors here are members of a Consortium of Research General Practices in North Staffordshire.
We work in partnership with the Primary Care NIHR Clinical Research Network at Keele to carry out important research. Our research is funded by public bodies and charities (MRC, ARC and The Welcome Trust).
Research is an important part of healthcare. It is used to learn more about certain illnesses and to identify the most effective way of treating patients.
Patient Equipment Fund
Over the years, donations have been made to the practice. These donations assist us in improving and updating our equipment and the services we are able to offer our patients.
Patient Feedback
biddulphdoctors is committed to giving the best possible service and welcomes feedback from patients and visitors.
All feedback is taken seriously and used to improve services for patients. The care of patients raising concerns will not be affected in any way and will continue to be our highest priority.
Please let us have your comments both positive and negative by completing our comments & suggestions form.
Your comments will help us to maintain our high standard of service.
GP Average Earnings
Disclaimer: NHS England requires that the net earnings of doctors engaged in the practice is 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.
All GP practices are required to declare the mean earnings (eg average pay) for GPs working to deliver NHS services to patients at each practice.
The average pay for GPs working at biddulphdoctors for 2018 / 2019 was £56,573.40 before tax and national insurance. This is for 7 less than full time GPs who have worked in the practice for more than six months.
