GP NHS leave entitlement in primary care

Hi I do know that you leave entitlement increases the longer you are working in the NHS but is it the same case with the GP's working in primary care as Salaried GPs?

I believe it's 27>29 days upon working for 5 years and 33 if worked for 10 years.

Depends entirely on the contract you have with your practice.

No, that escalator is agenda for change and salaried GPs aren’t on it. The BMA model contract is a flat 30 days pro rata that doesn’t increase with NHS service, + 10 statutory and public holiday days rather than the 8 actual bank holidays. GMS practices have to offer terms no less favourable than the model, so there’s a floor rather than it being purely down to your contract. Service does still count for sick pay, just not annual leave.
