Notes:
1 The new headcount methodology is not fully comparable with data for years prior to 2010, due to improvements that make it a more stringent count of absolute staff numbers
Headcount totals are unlikely to equal the sum of components. Further information on the headcount methodology is available in the Census publication.
2 In order to avoid double counting Hosptial Practitioners & Clinical Assistants (HPCAs) are excluded from the all doctors totals, as they are predominantly GPs that work part time in hospitals (applies to headcount data only).
3 Nursing and midwifery figures exclude students on training courses leading to a first qualification as a nurse or midwife.
4 In 2006 ambulance staff were collected under new, more detailed, occupation codes. As a result, qualified totals and support to ambulance staff totals are not directly comparable with previous years.
5 GP Registrar count from 2008 onwards represents an improvement in data collection processes and comparisons with previous years should be treated with caution
6 Practice staff counts for 2010 & 2011 have been revised to provide a 100% census, with estimated numbers for those practices with null returns. Further details can be found in the data quality statement/methodology.
Note, this will affect any related totals and comparisons with years prior to 2010
From 2011 the bank staff return was suspended. All data (for all years) in these tables excludes bank staff

Notes:
1 GP full time equivalent (FTE) data for 2000-2005 has been estimated using the results from the 1992-93 GMP Workload Survey.
2 From 2006 onwards GP FTE has been collected and therefore may not be fully comparable with previous years.
3 Nursing and midwifery figures exclude students on training courses leading to a first qualification as a nurse or midwife.
4 In 2006 ambulance staff were collected under new, more detailed, occupation codes. As a result, qualified totals and support to ambulance staff totals are not directly comparable with previous years.
5 GP Registrar count from 2008 onwards represents an improvement in data collection processes and comparisons with previous years should be treated with caution
6 Practice staff counts for 2010 & 2011 have been revised to provide a 100% census, with estimated numbers for those practices with null returns. Further details can be found in the data quality statement/methodology.
Note, this will affect any related totals and comparisons with years prior to 2010
From 2011 the bank staff return was suspended. All data (for all years) in these tables excludes bank staff

The new headcount methodology is not fully comparable with data for years prior to 2010, due to improvements that make it a more stringent count of absolute staff numbers
Headcount totals are unlikely to equal the sum of components. Further information on the headcount methodology is available in the Census publication.
(2)
Registrar counts for 2008 onwards represent an improvement in data collection processes and comparisons with previous years should be treated with caution
(3)
There are an additional 440 GP Registrars training in the North West SHA, paid via the Electronic Staff Record System (ESR). These ESR records are not included in this table but are included in the Medical and Dental Census
Data as at 30 September each year
Figures exclude GP locums

Full Time Equivalent (FTE) data for 2002-2005 have been estimated using the results from the 1992-93 GMP Workload Survey;
For 2002-2003 Contracted GPs - Full time 1.00 fte; three quarter time 0.69 fte; job share 0.65 fte; and half time 0.60 fte; Other GP types - Full time 1.00 fte; Part time 0.6 fte
For 2004-2005 All GPs - Full Time 1.0 fte; Part time 0.6 fte
For 2006-2012 FTE figures have been collected based on the number of sessions, hours or percentage each GP works. Therefore time series data may not be fully comparable.
FTE GP Retainers have been estimated using a factor of 0.12 per session for 2002-2005
For 2010-2012 Retainer FTE has been calculated on same basis as other doctors i.e. 9 sessions 1.0 fte, these figures are not directly comparable with preceding years

A leaver is GP who was working (as a GP Provider/Salaried/Other GP) at a practice in England in one census but was not a GP Provider/Salaried/Other GP at any English practice the following year.
A joiner is GP who was working (as a GP Provider/Salaried/Other GP) at a practice in England in one census but was not a GP Provider/Salaried/Other GP at any English practice the previous year.
% of GPs leaving is calculated based on the census year in which the GP last appeared. It indicates the percentage of the workforce that left prior to the next census
% of GPs joining is calculated using the census numbers of the year in which the GP newly appeared. It indicates the percentage of the current workforce who joined within the previous year.
Please note that if a GP was working as a registrar at the 2011 census and the took up a position as a Salaried GP they will be counted as a Joiner

2002 and 2003 Practice Staff totals include imputed data based on the previous census for a number of PCTs who did not submit returns
Figures have been amended from previously published
2007, 2008 and 2009 Practice Staff totals include imputed data based on previous censuses for a number of PCTs who did not submit returns. FTE figures for one PCT in 2007 and one in 2009 who did
not submit returns have been calculated using the national average ratio of 1:1.6 from headcount figures.
(4)
Figures prior to 2006 have been amended retrospectively in order to maintain a consistent methodology over the time series
(3)
2010-2012 data was collected at practice level rather than a simple aggregated total per PCT. For those practices where data was not supplied an estimate has been made. Further information on the
methodology is available in the Census publication. Data was returned for 72.7% of practices in 2010, 89.4% in 2011 and 90.2% in 2012. Information for missing practices has been estimated. 2010 data
onwards is not comparable with earlier years.
