There are three publications on the dental pharmacy workforce produced each year by NES.
Dental Workforce Reports
A bi-annual report on the dental workforce that brings together results and analysis from various sources on the Dental workforce including population data, student data and workforce data.
Pharmacy Workforce Reports
These reports bring together results and analysis from various sources on the Pharmacy workforce including population data, student data and workforce data.
Community Workforce Reports
These reports present results from the Community Pharmacy Survey undertaken by NHS Education for Scotland (NES) in conjunction with Community Pharmacy Scotland (CPS). Independent community pharmacies and pharmacies in the Company Chemists’ Association (CCA) are asked to supply information on staff and vacancies.
The survey gathers information on staff in post and vacancies, reported as Headcount (HC) and number of hours employed. Whole Time Equivalent (WTE) was estimated by dividing the number of hours worked by a standard 40-hour full-time working week.
