Request received

Request received for an update to the tables presenting information on the reasons recorded for general practice staff leaving their roles for each NHS England region, as reported by practices in the National Workforce Reporting Service (NWRS).  The tables previously published as supplementary information in response to an earlier request presented reason for leaving information from July 2021 to December 2023

Our response

In response we provided tables showing the percentage distribution within each staff group of reasons for leaving recorded for staff leaving general practice roles within each six-month period from July 2021 to June 2024, as well as the average age of leavers for each reason within each staff group. 

Tables relating to staff leaving roles in practices in each of the seven NHS England regions were provided, as well as one for the whole of England, for comparison.

Due to an evident lag in reporting of leavers in NWRS, the 30 September 2024 extract of NWRS data was used to analyse the leaving reasons of individuals who left their roles between January and June 2024.
