Primary care workforce planning

The approach to workforce planning in primary care was developed in partnership with two GP clusters and Skills for Health. This simplified methodology can be used by practices and clusters to create their workforce plans. This is based on the six steps methodology, but breaks the process down into a set of four questions:

  • How do we get started?
  • Where are we now?
  • Where do we want to be?
  • How are we going to get there?
