As a Type 2 practitioner, your self-assessment will be used by PCSE to determine whether you have paid the correct tiered contributions across all of your GP pensionable posts.
A Type 2 medical practitioner is a:
- Salaried GP formally employed by a GP surgery, APMS Contractor, or a LHB (Wales).
- Long-term fee-based GP who worked for a GP surgery, APMS Contractor, or a LHB.
- GP who solely performs OOHs either on an employed or self-employed basis.
- GP ‘with special interests’ (GPwSI) employed or engaged by NHS England or a LHB.
As a rule of thumb, any GP who is not a GP partner, or not solely working as a GP locum, will probably be considered a Type 2 practitioner.
