General...
An increasing number of GPs have expressed a preference for salaried contracts. The global sum gives practices new flexibility to appoint salaried staff. PCOs, with the new opportunity of direct provision, can now offer a salaried option. This document focuses on GPs employed by GMS practices and by PCOs. In the future there will be the opportunity to work as a salaried GP for an Alternative Provider of Medical Services (APMS).
