    dct:description "Note: This dataset will not be receiving updates through this portal. Please refer to the [Public Health Scotland Open Data](https://www.opendata.nhs.scot/dataset/general-practitioner-contact-details) platform for the relevant data. <br/><br/>Data indicates headcount of GP workforce by Health Board and Local Authority as at 30 September for each year presented. The figures take no account of whether GPs work full or part time. Please note that GPs may hold multiple posts simultaneously therefore the total number of GPs in Scotland may not equal the sum of GPs recorded under Health Board or Local Authority. In line with legislation that came into effect on 1 April 2004, GPs are now collectively termed 'Performers'. The data includes: <br/><br/>* Performer - GP performers that are not salaried, retainees or registrars - i.e. generally the practice partners. <br/>* Performer salaried - GPs who are employed by the practice or NHS Board on a salaried basis. <br/>* Performer retainee - A GP, typically part-time, who can be utilised by a practice as they are required. <br/>* Performer registrar / Specialist Trainee - A medical practitioner who is being trained in general practice <br/><br/>Data excludes GPs working on a locum or sessional basis and the majority of those working only in Out of Hours Services. Data Source for General Practice Workforce: General Practitioner Contractor Database (GPCD), Information Services Division, NHS National Services Scotland. Further information on GP workforce and practice populations in Scotland is available on the [ISD Website](http://www.isdscotland.org/Health-Topics/General-Practice/Workforce-and-Practice-Populations/)" ;

Each year's release includes a refresh of the previous years, and as new information comes to light the numbers may change from those previously published. <br/><br/>In addition, several practices whose health board changed during the 2014 health board boundary changes were recorded against their old health board prior to 2014. These have now been changed to consistently use the 2014 health board boundaries for all years." ;
