Primary Care Workforce Reporting
Understanding staff capacity in the health service is more important than ever before. It is this information that shapes how investment, training, and resource is directed across the primary care workforce ensuring the right support goes to the right place at the right time. So, it is critical that the information you submit to us about your staff is accurate and complete.
Provision of workforce data is also a contractual requirement for practices and primary care networks as it is crucial for understanding changing capacity across the primary care workforce. (Network DES 5.4.9-10)
“It’s essential for any effective healthcare system to have high quality and transparent workforce data. Without NHS Digital data publications, it would not be possible to plan and deliver safe care, improve patient outcomes or preserve the morale and wellbeing of staff. “
