Overview

Summary of dataset and variables

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 or 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.
