Rates of turnover among general practitioners: a retrospective study of all English general practices between 2007 and 2019.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

To quantify general practitioners' (GPs') turnover in England between 2007 and 2019, describe trends over time, regional differences and associations with social deprivation or other practice characteristics.

Design

A retrospective study of annual cross-sectional data.

Setting

All general practices in England (8085 in 2007, 6598 in 2019).

Methods

We calculated turnover rates, defined as the proportion of GPs leaving a practice. Rates and their median, 25th and 75th percentiles were calculated by year and region. The proportion of practices with persistent high turnover (>10%) over consecutive years were also calculated. A negative binomial regression model assessed the association between turnover and social deprivation or other practice characteristi
