Summary

The NHS Improvement Quarter 4 NHS Trust performance report publication has been delayed, therefore the link to the latest NHS Improvement management information within this publication will not work at present. Once the performance report has been published by NHS Improvement, this temporary issue will be resolved.

This is the latest provisional experimental publication of NHS vacancy statistics created from administrative data related to published vacancy adverts obtained from NHS Jobs, the main recruitment website for the NHS.

The statistics referred to in this document and the accompanying tables are exploratory and provide information on the administrative data available from NHS Jobs as much as on the recruitment of staff. This publication provides figures which are an insight to recruitment in the NHS but which should be treated with caution, though the expanded time series now allows users to consider relative changes over time.

For the first time this publication also includes management information related to vacancies and vacancy rates within the NHS which have been collected and published by NHS Improvement. This makes it the first compendium publication of the series. The publication date has been brought forward to be released on the same day as the NHS Improvement Q4 2018/19 performance report. NHS Digital then intend to make NHS Vacancy Statistics a quarterly publication to align further with the publication schedule for the NHS Improvement vacancy related data.
