In some countries, such as the UK, doctors are generally salaried employees.

This is not true. A GP practice is a private partnership like a legal chambers which bills the NHS for its services. This fact is strangely overlooked by people angry about “privatising the NHS”, it’s always been this way.



Some UK GPs are salaried. I don't know the proportions.

Paid a salary by the private practice they work for, again just like a junior lawyer would be.
