Notes:

  1. It is not recommended that comparisons be made between quarterly or monthly figures (e.g. Mar 16 to Sept 16) due to the unknown effect of seasonality on workforce numbers. We have therefore provided a comparison for the same month in the earliest and latest comparable data available.
  2. Data does not include estimates for practices that did not provide fully valid staff records.
  3. FTE refers to the proportion of full time contracted hours that the post holder is contracted to work. 1 would indicate they work a full set of hours (37.5), 0.5 that they worked half time. In GPs in Training Grade contracts 1 FTE = 40 hours and in these FTEs have been converted to the standard wMDS measure of 1 FTE = 37.5 hours for consistency.
  4. Figures shown do not include staff working in prisons, army bases, educational establishments, specialist care centres including drug rehabilitation centres, walk-in centres and other alternative settings outside of traditional general practice such as urgent treatment centres and minor injury units.
  5. Practices were mapped to the constituency using the postcode as recorded by the NHS Organisational Data Service and the August 2022 National Statistics Postcode Lookup (NSPL).
