Doctors pay has always been repeatedly discussed topic and it always attract the doctors.
After reading this post you will get brief insight about pays of Doctors who are working in IRELAND in HSE and in private hospitals
Senior House Officer:
SHO pay scale is divided into 7 grades and each grade has set pays per/anum. Hourly rate range from 22 to 28 Euro approximately.This is a basic pay which you will get before tax. This pay scale was renewed on 01/10/2021. Please note that in Ireland doctors are paid fortnightly( Every 14th day).
Grade 1: 46,058 Euros.
Grade 2: 48,344 Euros.
Grade 3: 51,772 Euros.
Grade 4: 54,028 Euros.
Grade 5: 58,567 Euros.
Grade 6: 60,822 Euros.
Grade 7: 63023 Euros.
Grade 1 SHO salary after Tax Deduction: Lets discuss grade 1 and all other grade could be calculated accordingly. SHO grade 1 is 46K Euros per/anum.If you divide 46 by 12 to calculate monthly; it would be around 3800 Euros. Wait ! This is before tax. If you further deduct 40% of tax then 40% of 3800 is almost 1500. Minus this from 3800 so it would be 2300 Euros. You will get this 2300 Euros per month in 2 divided pays of around 1200 as I told you before that doctors are paid fortnightly. Likewise you can calculate it for grade 7; it would be around 3200 Euros per month.
Don’t worry this is just your basic pay if you work 39 hours/week.
You will get pay for extra hours you spend on duty and every month you do lots of extra hours depending upon your calls.
So, If you work in Medicine your take home salary would be around 2800 to 3500 Euro depending upon your grade and extra hours.
If you work in Emergency Medicine department your working hours are usually more so you earn around 3000 to 3700 Euro.
Surgical SHO usually earn even more because there working hours are even more. They some time earn from 3500 to 4200 Euro per months depending upon hours and grade.
Remember again this is only when you do extra hours i.e more then 39 hours/week.If you work 39 hours weekly you will get your basic pay as discussed above.
Registrar
Registrar pay scale is divided into 6 grades. Hourly rates are from 26 to 31 Euro.
Grade 1: 58,567 Euros.
Grade 2: 60,822 Euros.
Grade 3: 63,023 Euros.
Grade 4: 64,642 Euros.
Grade 5: 66,801 Euros.
Grade 6: 68,968 Euros.
Note that pay scale of Registrar level 1 is equal to SHO grade 5. You can calculate your basic pay according to above description.
How the pay scale is given to a doctor?
Which pay scale you will get depends on your years of experience. Please note that experience of only Teaching/Tertiary care hospitals and postgraduate training hospitals are accepted.
Example 1: If you have worked in tertiary care hospital for 3 years and you are selected as SHO; you will be given SHO grade 4. If 3 years experience is of any private hospital which is not a training hospital then you will be kept at SHO grade 1.
Private hospital experience is only considered if it is a postgraduate training hospital.
Example 2: If you are selected as a registrar and your work experience is 5 years in tertiary care hospital then you will be given registrar grade 1.
Example 3: If you have 10 years work experience and you are selected as SHO you will get maximum grade of 7.
Private hospitals:
Private hospital pays in Ireland are more then HSE. But again; you wont be enjoying the perks which government(HSE) provides to doctors.
Private hospital offers around 70k to 90K Euro pays before tax depending upon your work experience.

Aoa Dr sahab! I have some Questions regarding the IMC account. I made my IMC account last night. While sending my passport and Ielts via courier, I didn’t send any cover letter. Will this be any issue? Also, while filling the form, I wrote in pmc registration type as “Basic” instead of Permanent; also in the indemnity section I tick marked 5 not 1 and 3. Plz can you tell me will there be any problem for me later or in my acceptance of application?
If you are registering via housejob experience it should be permanent.
Check list they send is a cover letter itself.
You can change option at the end when they reconfirm it just before giving you registration. Thanks
In continuation to my above comment, Sir I also applied for pmc good standing certificate last night and they dispatched it to imc today. I didn’t know when to do it, so I applied for it instantly after I submitted my imc application. Will this also create any problem for me?
Usually it should be applied few weeks after submitting documents because expiry date of GS cert is 3 months for IMC. Anyhow if they ask you again for it after expiry then you must send them again. Thanks
AOA Dr Ahsan, i have completed my IMC registration and my status is active now. I dont know from where to start with for job application, plus i also need some guidance regarding my CV. how to make it more appealing for the hospitals. your assistance in this regard would be highly appreciated.
