Notes:

  1. practices in Calder Valley were identified using the practice postcode and the National Statistics Postcode Lookup;
  2. data does not include estimates for practices that did not provide fully valid staff records;
  3. figures shown do not include staff working in prisons, army bases, educational establishments, specialist care centres, including drug rehabilitation centres, walk-in centres, and other alternative settings outside of traditional GPs, such as urgent treatment centres and minor injury units; and
  4. FTE refers to the proportion of full time contracted hours that the post holder is contracted to work, so 1 would indicate they work a full set of 37.5 hours, and 0.5 that they worked half that time. In training grade FTE GP contracts, 1 FTE equals 40 hours, and in this table, these FTEs have been converted to the standard Workforce Minimum Data Set measure of 1 FTE equalling 37.5 hours for consistency.

The data requested is not broken down by branch surgery, and the data for 2010 is not held centrally.
