The GPC has produced some helpful guidance Focus On Taking on New Partners
This is their conclusion:
Whilst many sessional GPs and trainees positively choose to be a salaried doctor working in a practice, many others aspire to become GP partners, recognising the greater security, professional autonomy and ability to influence patient services such a position will offer them. There are many benefits in both becoming and taking on a new GP partner, such as continuity of care and a sense of ownership of the practice. Coupled with this, the new tax arrangements actually provide an incentive to GP partners to share their workload rather than paying high marginal rates of tax.
The outlined benefits of taking on a new GP partner may also mean that it is the most cost-effective option for practices when all workload and income are taken into consideration. The GPC would encourage practices to take on more GP partners and consider the positive implications of this both for individual practices and general practice as a whole.
