General description
This shows the number of (headcount) fully qualified GPs employed in general practices by sex and full-time and part-time, at every quarterly snapshot date since 31-Dec-21.Data collection and calculation
After all contracted hours were summed for each GP, this shows the number of part-time (less than 37.5 hours per week) and full-time (37.5 hours or more per week) GPs by sex.Fully qualified GPs includes partners, providers, salaried, retainers and locum GPs only.
Locums are counted if they had any work recorded through Locum Hub Wales at any point during the quarter ending in the snapshot date only. For all the other GP types, it is based on the headcount as at the snapshot date.
The Wales National Workforce Reporting System (WNWRS) provides a secure web based tool developed to capture information on staff working in general practices in Wales.
In broad terms, the system works by practice managers inputting details of their staff onto the system, confirming the details every quarter. Data is then extracted on the last day of each quarter (March, June, September, December). NHS Wales Shared Services Partnership (NWSSP) perform validations to improve data quality before anonymised data are shared with Welsh Government statisticians to validate further and produce these official statistics.
Data from other sources supplement the data from WNWRS, these include:
• Locum Hub Wales (LHW): number of locums working in practices during the quarter up to the snapshot date.
