Workforce and ARRS

Workforce and ARRS tools support capacity review, staffing context, and funding scenario planning.

NWRS Workforce Dashboard

The NWRS dashboard uses published workforce returns.

What It Shows

  • headcount and full-time equivalent measures;
  • role group breakdowns;
  • clinical, administrative, and direct patient care mix;
  • workforce per registered patient or per 1,000 patients where available;
  • comparison with wider geographies and peers.

How To Use It

  1. Select a practice or geography.
  2. Review total workforce and role mix.
  3. Compare FTE and headcount separately.
  4. Use per-patient measures for context.
  5. Combine with demand and appointment tools before drawing conclusions.

Interpretation Notes

Workforce data depends on submitted role coding. Differences may reflect service model, vacancies, local commissioning, estates, or coding practice.

ARRS Calculator

Use the ARRS calculator to model role-level reimbursement or funding scenarios.

What It Shows

  • role assumptions;
  • allocation or reimbursement estimates;
  • scenario comparisons;
  • planning prompts for PCN workforce discussions.

How To Use It

  1. Enter the relevant role and funding assumptions.
  2. Adjust salary, hours, or allocation inputs where supported.
  3. Compare scenarios.
  4. Check outputs against current scheme rules.

ARRS outputs should be used for planning and discussion. Confirm eligibility and scheme rules before formal claims or decisions.
