According to the NHS Pay Scales for 2023/24, the annual salary range for a surgeon in the United Kingdom is as follows:

1. Consultant

The NHS pay scale for surgeons is determined by their level of seniority, experience, and location. Base salaries are the same across the UK, but London surgeons receive a higher London Supplement due to the higher cost of living in the capital.

In addition to their base salaries, surgeons may also receive additional compensation for on-call work, overtime, and other allowances. The average annual earnings of a surgeon in the UK can range from £100,000 to over £200,000, depending on their level of experience, specialty, and location.
