In response each quarter we are providing a CSV presenting joiner and leaver headcount and full-time equivalent (FTE) figures for the two cohorts across annual periods beginning on the last day of March, June, September or December each year.
This release represents joiners and leavers over the year from 31 March 2023 to 31 March 2024.
Joiner and leaver figures (labelled numerators) represent joiners to and leavers from the general practice workforce in England as whole and do not include staff moving between practices / PCNs.
Also included are FTE and headcount figures representing all GPs included in the analysis on each reporting date (labelled denominators), to enable the calculation of joiner and leaver rates for each annual period.
Figures are broken down by age band as well as all ages, and by the PCN code of the PCN each GP's employing practice was part of on the relevant reporting date.
Please note these figures do not relate to staff employed by PCNs, only those employed by general practices.
Users are urged to read the GP joiners and leavers by PCN definitions file in the accompanying Zip folder before attempting to interpret the results.
