What this tells you · On a raw head-count, Tower Hamlets carries 1,808 patients per GP FTE (vs 1,954 for NORTH EAST LONDON). Once the list is weighted for deprivation and age the real workload rises to 2,152. ARRS adds PCN-grain capacity on top — shown as total FTE and role mix (we don’t hold the funded entitlement, so "% filled" is not claimed).
ARRS / PCN-workforce capacity is published at PCN grain, not GP-practice — it is the scope’s PCN total, and at single-practice scope it is the PARENT PCN’s figure (labelled), never split per practice.
We do NOT hold the funded ARRS entitlement / reimbursement ceiling, so the mockup’s “ARRS filled vs entitlement” panel is omitted. ARRS capacity is shown as total FTE, the role mix and FTE per 100,000 patients instead — no entitlement is assumed.
The workload-weighted caseload is a TRANSPARENT modelling assumption (patients per GP FTE lifted by how far the scope’s catchment deprivation and registered %65+ sit above the national average), not an official Carr-Hill / need-weighted measure.

The clinical team rebuilt each month by staff group. A growing teal/orange band shows nursing and Additional Roles taking on more of the work as GP numbers stay flat. GP, nurse and Direct-Patient-Care FTE are practice-grain; the ARRS band (when shown) is the scope’s PCN total.

Capacity vs need — raw and workload-weighted

●Your boroughWorkforce × IMD × age

The same list looks very different once you adjust for how much care the population actually needs. The weighted ratio uplifts patients-per-GP-FTE by how far this scope’s catchment deprivation and registered %65+ sit above the national average — a transparent, labelled assumption, not an official Carr-Hill weight.

The inverse-care law — GP supply vs deprivation

●Your boroughWorkforce × IMD

Each dot is a practice: catchment deprivation (right = more deprived) against GP FTE per 10,000 patients (up = more GPs per head). A downward slope is the inverse-care law — poorer catchments with fewer GPs per head. ARRS can’t be plotted per practice (it’s PCN-grain), so this is the practice-grain GP-supply view.

GP supply by deprivation

○Catchment-weighted · LSOAWorkforce × IoD2025

In-scope practices grouped by the deprivation of the patients they serve (decile 1 = most deprived, against the national distribution). Bars show GP FTE per 10,000 patients; the dashed line is the scope average. A right-leaning shape means poorer areas have fewer GPs per head — the inverse-care law.
