The National Workforce Reporting Service (NWRS) support

To access the National Workforce Reporting Service or NWRS you have to use the SDCS sign-in process. 

To do that we start by choosing the sign in button at the top right hand corner of the screen then enter the credentials you've been given to enter the system. So that's your username and the password. 

Once we're into the SDCS screens we need to navigate to the NWRS collections and we do that by choosing submissions and new and then find the National Workforce Reporting Service or NWRS from the list. 

Finally, choose create that will take you through to the forms platform where you'll see a list of the organisations that you can submit for. 

Here you will see how to add a record for a member of staff at a PCN.

How to add a member of staff in a GP Practice

In this video we're going to see how to add a record for a locum that doesn't work for your practice all the time maybe  they've been supplied um by an agency so  you might have less personal details that you know about them when you're reading their record. 

To help improve the quality of  the information that we collect we've applied some checks or validation to some  of the information on on the sections as you 

work through a good example of that is any date  fields so the system will check for invalid dates and then present a warning to tell  you that there's something wrong. 

Similarly and we have a check  on the national insurance number we actually have two and the  first one we'll check for a length and then the second one actually  checks for the format of the field. 

So in the case of national  insurance number there are only specific letters allowed in the first position, the second position and the last position. 

Within NWRS you can now choose to delete a staff record so you should only do that in the cases where the record's been entered in error or maybe it's a duplicate so maybe one of your colleagues has entered the record too. 

So to start that process you would need to view their record and at the top left hand side of the screen you can see the delete button here.

Before proceeding with the delete you have to choose a reason for deletion and once you've chosen it and confirm delete you'll be taken to a screen that 

confirms that the record has been deleted.
