Central London or not, RVRs figures seem pretty high.. I know there are extra insensitives for GPs these days but central London GP mates of mine are earning less than 50k. My girlfriend is an anaesthetist at UCH and on around 45K, I think. And that's after 4 years of hardcore shifts, nights etc. I've got other medic mates who are house officers in regional general hospitals on 35kish. I'm not doubting RVRs comments, by the way.. general practice is very attractive these days. But it's not the only salary benchmark in medicine.
