Report | Consequences of weighting earlier waves of the national GP Worklife Survey for trends in key outcomes

The GP workforce in England underwent a substantial demographic transformation between 2015 and 2024, as a result we reweighted the data from the 2015, 2019, and 2024 national GP Worklife Surveys (GPWLS) to match the composition of all GPs in England by contract type, gender, and age. This reveals what trends would have emerged if the composition of respondents to these surveys had matched the national population in 2024, thereby distinguishing between changes in GP experiences and changes that arose because of shifts in workforce composition.
