Overview

Summary of dataset and variables

This shows the number of (headcount) and full-time equivalent (FTE) nurses, direct patient care and admin/non-clinical staff employed in general practices by sex and local health board, at every quarterly snapshot date since 31-Dec-20.

Data collection or calculation

Figures for headcounts are unique staff counts. So if one person is employed multiple times in one local health board (LHB) or staff category, they are only counted once (but if the person is also employed in another LHB or staff category, then they would be counted once in each LHB or staff category). Therefore figures cannot be summed by LHB or staff category.

Figures for FTE count towards the sex and health board each contract is with. Therefore the FTE figures for each health board will sum to the Wales figure and the sum of the FTE of male, female, other/unknown and not stated will sum to the FTE for 'persons', subject to small rounding differences. 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.

Statistical quality

A number of practices did not confirm their WNWRS data as being up-to-date in the quarter up to each snapshot date. See the statistical release for more information.
