Full-time equivalents are rounded to 1 decimal place.

Overview

Summary of dataset and variables

Assignment count and Full-time equivalent of directly employed NHS staff by grade and area of work. General Medical and Dental Practitioners are excluded as they are independent NHS contractors.

Data collection or calculation

Extracted from the NHS Electronic Staff Record system. Staff groups and areas of work are determined from NHS occupational codes - see linked manual for more detail.

NHS Wales Shared Services Partnership (NWSSP) became the lead employer for General Practice (Doctors in Training only) from 2015 onwards. Previously GPs in training who rotated into a GP surgery would be employed by the surgery and therefore leave the NHS Wales payroll. Now NWSSP keeps continuous employment and these figures are shown against Velindre NHS Trust, which hosts NWSSP. In addition to these, GP trainees who are on hospital rotations are recorded under the specialty of their current role against Velindre NHS trust from 2015 until 31 March 2021, and under NWSSP from 1 April 2021. Previously these trainees were recorded against the Local Health Boards (LHBs) which hosted the trainee. As a result the numbers recorded against the LHBs in the relevant specialties have fallen.

Statistical quality

Data for all organisations initially published on 30 July 2025, for reference date 31 March 2025 was revised on 02 October 2025 following the discovery of an error in the source data. Data for the same time period was subsequently revised on 6 November 2025 for NHS Wales Shared Services Partnership, Public Health Wales, Velindre and Welsh Ambulance Services Trust following the discovery of a processing error that resulted in all staff from these organisations being reported as NHS Shared Services Partnership staff. All other organisations and the Wales-level data were unaffected.
