General Practice Workforce 31 October 2020

This is the first time we have published General Practice Workforce figures on a monthly rather than quarterly basis, and we are aware that some practices were not able to update their workforce information in time for the data extract. As a result, figures should be interpreted with caution. We have identified a particular shortfall in the data provided for GP locums for October 2020 and have estimated full time equivalent figures based upon the previous quarter's data. We are presenting only full time equivalent figures in this release while we develop a methodology to account for the missing headcount data.
