    Doctors - 58% more salary with 7 hours less!

    GP partners do earn a salary (similar to hospital consultants £70,000-80,000), but earn a share of the profits (ie pay from incentives), but you have to 'buy' a share of the business. Salary GPs just earn the base pay. The problem with local GPs working out-of-hours is that it will be...

    Doctors - 58% more salary with 7 hours less!

    What you don't understand is that the salary of GPs haven't changed much, the incentive package (eg reaching government targets on hypertension, smoking, diabetes) allows GPs to make loads of money on top. Its the government's own fault. In terms of the hours worked, blame the EU's working...

    They've got a good service and bodyshop department. They've always had a good attitude to their customers. No complaints from me.

    C-class W203 foglight

    I've done a search on the forum and it does seem a hard job without the right equipment. I want to avoid the stealers and am going to ask some of the independents in Leicester to see if they can do it at a better price.... We shall see.
