Practitioner Membership data conveys the details of the associations/relationships between practitioners and organisations they work for. There are different membership types for the different types of practitioner data ODS publish. Note that membership start and end dates are not always available due to limitations in the raw data received by ODS.
The scope of this dataset is set by data in the Practitioner table, and those parent organisation who are present in the Organisation table.
