no fellowship . it doesn't make a diff to your salary.
but most cluster u need fellowship to promote to consultant but having fellowship doesn't ensure your promotion to consultant.
I got my ac 2 to 3 years ago. slowly earn the annual increment lo.
probably retire as a ac.
maybe if they recog fellowship as a completely trained fam med specialist I go and do it.
Can I ask what is the pay limit/cap for ops doctors with mmed? (Assuming you stay there till you retire, i.e 35 years of service, with anual pay increment of 2-3%)

Also do private gp give anual increment of 2-3% for inflation as well? I.e will the pay still be 13-14k 20 years later? 😂
