General practice primary care workforce by role, full-time equivalent, September 2010 to December 2022

Source: Institute for Government analysis of NHS Digital, ‘General Practice Workforce, England, Bulletin Tables December 2015 – December 2022’ and NHS Digital, ‘General and Personal Medical Services, England, 2004–14, as at 30 September’, supported by CIPFA. Notes: The number of direct patient care (DPC) staff in this chart is not directly comparable with the number of DPC staff in the chart titled ‘Number of DPC staff employed in primary care networks: March 2019 – March 2024’. This is because the former includes only those DPC staff who work in GP practices, while the latter includes DPC staff employed across wider primary care networks. Get the data Embed
