Experimental statistics, Official statistics
Summary
This is the latest compendium publication in the NHS Vacancy Statistics series containing vacancy related data for the NHS which provide different views on recruitment information for the NHS.
Data from the Electronic Staff Record (ESR) and Trac Recruitment Management Software (Trac) provide a range of proxy data sources for NHS vacancies. The series also includes management information related to vacancies within the NHS which have been collected by NHS England (NHSE).
Users should note these data do not indicate how much of the reported substantive gap is filled by temporary staff.
Due to the complex nature of how NHS vacancy data is defined and collected, all data sources should be treated with a degree of caution.
The data visualisation resource included within this edition of the publication is designed to give users immediate insight into different outcomes at Regional aggregations and can be found below the Key Facts. As with all elements of the publication, we welcome feedback on this as we continue to investigate ways of gaining maximum value from the data.
To help with the development of this publication, feedback can be sent to: [email protected] with the subject heading ‘NHS Vacancy Statistics publication feedback’.
