Changes in this series
New high-level practice-level CSV
From this release we have introduced a new practice-level CSV presenting only high-level figures in a narrow, user-friendly format. The file presents total FTE and headcounts for each job role at each practice, as well as the total GP, Nurse, Direct Patient Care and Admin/Non-Clinical FTE and headcounts at each practice.
Where data is not available for a practice, NA (for not available) is presented. This value indicates that this job role has been estimated for at Sub-ICB Location level in the Excel bulletin tables, Individual-level CSV and interactive tool.
The new CSV - called General Practice – January 2023 Practice Level - High level - is available in the same Zip folder as the existing practice-level CSV, along with its own definitions file.
New fields introduced to practice-level CSV
From this release onwards, new columns have been introduced to the existing practice-level CSV presenting FTE by age band for each of the four staff groups. See the accompanying General Practice Detailed Practice-Level CSV. Overall Definitions file for the full order of columns within the file.
