Dataset
Documentation
Description:
A snapshot statistic relates to the situation at a specific date, which for these workforce statistics is the last calendar day in the reporting period. Until July 2021, the snapshots have been produced each quarter and were a record as of 31 March, 30 June, 30 September, and 31 December. However, from July 2021, as requested by our stakeholders, we are collecting and publishing data on the general practice workforce on a monthly basis, and the snapshot will therefore relate to the last calendar day of each month, including weekends and public holidays.
These statistics present full-time equivalent (FTE) and headcount figures by four staff groups, (GPs, Nurses, Direct Patient Care (DPC) and administrative staff), with breakdowns of individual job roles within these high-level groups.
The publication includes an Excel Bulletin file containing full-time equivalent (FTE) and headcount figures by gender and role, age band and work commitment at England-level, along with patient counts. This bulletin also contains Integrated Care Board (ICB) and Sub-ICB Location breakdowns by role and ethnicity.
