NHS Wessex Clinical Senate, NHS Health Education England, July 2017
  • An examination of the problems facing general practice across Wessex through population demographics, demand for services and the workforce.
  • A summary of the current problems and possible approaches which have been used to support increasing activity in general practice, in particular through workforce development. 
  • The project has developed three tools - a RAG tool to highlight likely workforce changes, a Skills Matrix tool and workforce estimation tool – which are available to practices outside Wessex.
