Publication, Part of NHS workforce statistics
NHS Workforce Statistics - July 2025 (Including selected preliminary statistics for August 2025)
Official statistics
We have previously announced on this publication page that we intend to replace the existing set of publication files with a complete set of data produced a full month earlier. We have been publishing these files in tandem for a number of months to ensure they can be produced reliably. Following successful implementation we now intend to begin publishing a single set of files in January 2026 when data for September 2025 are published. In the November 2025 publication we will issue a full timetable showing how this transition will be implemented.
