Full-time earnings are estimated at CAD $600,000-$700,000 (approx. £325,000-£380,000), with LMIAs already approved and patients ready from day one.
The Practice Doctor-owned and run on a UK general practice model, with no pharmacy or non-clinical ownership and GPs working as independent physicians.
An interim clinic is already running, so you can start seeing patients straight away while the new building is completed over winter 2026/27.
