General description

Movement of full-time equivalent fully qualified GPs by GP type

Data collection and calculation

For 30 September 2022 and 30 September 2023, FTE data are based on 91% of GPs who had one contract on 30 September 2023 and one contract on 30 September 2022, or who were new joiners to general practice in the twelve months to 30 September 2023. Those with multiple contract types and those who left general practice are not included.

'Position in year 2' shows the composition of all fully qualified GPs on 30 September 2023 based on the method above. 'Position in year 1' shows what GP types the same GPs were on 30 September 2022.

The data can be used to estimate workforce flows of the whole GP workforce.
