Abstract

The Primary Care Workforce Intelligence System will bring together existing service requirements, operated by the NHS Wales Shared Service Partnership (NWSSP), into a single integrated solution to manage the provision of primary and community care workforce information, the Medical Performers List (MPL), Ophthalmic Performers List (OPL), Dental Performers List (DPL) and All Wales Pharmacy Database (AWPD) and Declarations of Interest. The existing primary care workforce tool (Wales National Workforce and Reporting System) currently enables identification of registered professions and all multi-disciplinary roles employed or working in the primary and community care sector. The data demographics and reporting are essential enablers to strategic workforce planning and integration with key requirements of General Medical Practice Indemnity, Locum Hub Wales and performers list governance . It is currently made up of two modules, data entry and reporting. The Medical Performers List (MPL), Ophthalmic Performers List (OPL), Dental Performers List (DPL) and All Wales Pharmacy Database (AWPD) record the eligibility of clinical professionals (performers) in Wales to provide NHS services in each of the disciplines named above. In addition, they record the details of the performers’ employer organisations (providers) i.e. those that hold contracts to provide NHS primary care services to Health Boards e.g. GP, dental and ophthalmic practices and community pharmacies. Applications for inclusion in the lists, maintenance of the lists and maintenance of contracted providers information is managed on behalf of Health Boards by NWSSP, Primary Care Services division (PCS). Legacy IT solutions currently underpin this process. CPV: 72212780, 48000000.
