NHS Workforce Statistics - August 2025 (Including selected preliminary statistics for September 2025)
Official statistics
Following the successful production of data 8 weeks after period end (instead of the current 12 weeks after period end), we will be moving to a single set of data files produced via new data processing methods. This November publication is the last to contain a set of dual outputs, and from January, outputs will be in the format of the files currently labelled as ‘Preliminary’.
The next publication on 8 January 2026 will include data for both 12 and 8 weeks after period end, in the new format, to allow the adoption of a new publication timetable. Therefore, both the September 2025 and October 2025 data months will be released on this date and will no longer be labelled as 'Preliminary'.
From 29 January 2026 onwards (November 2025 data month) a single set of data files will be published each month, 8 weeks after period end.
