Publication archived

As part of the 31 December 2021 publication, released on 10 February 2022, we introduced a significant methodological change and recalculated and re-published all historical figures back to September 2015, which means that figures in that release differ from and supersede those previously published, including those in this publication.

These pages have been retained in the publication archive for your reference, but the figures presented should no longer be used.

Please see the Methodological Review and Changes page of the December 2021 publication for an explanation of the changes.

Data Quality 2020

During 2020, the General Practice Workforce Official Statistics publications have been affected by several significant events which have had – or will have – an effect upon the figures both now and in the longer term.

More information about the quality of the September 2020 data extract, including the impact of the recently formed PCNs, is available from the main bulletin.

COVID-19

We believe the data completeness and coverage of data collected earlier this year may have been adversely affected by the COVID-19 pandemic as the exceptional pressures on the general practice workforce meant not all practices were able to update their workforce data in time for our extracts on 31 March and 30 June. 

Although we are confident the practices have returned to normal levels of data completion in time for the extract on 30 September, ongoing concerns about the completeness of the data extracted 31 March mean that we are not currently able to include figures for leavers and joiners between March 2019 and March 2020.
