How you're paid changes what you earn
Private clinic (employed)
Salaried medical role with a client cap rather than an appointment target. Most stable route.
Membership clinic
Clients pay a monthly fee for continuous oversight. Doctor pay is higher because revenue is recurring and churn is low.
Sessional / advisory
£150-£400 per hour for consulting, protocol design or advisory work with health businesses.
Private day equivalent across new client workups and reviews, before clinic overheads.
What raises a longevity doctor salary
- Working in a membership model rather than fee-per-visit - recurring revenue raises what a clinic can pay.
- Advanced diagnostics competence (metabolic, cardiovascular risk, body composition), which justifies a premium workup.
- A public profile. In this category clients choose a named doctor, not a clinic.
- Corporate executive health contracts, which buy in blocks rather than individually.
