Official Statistics in Development - release of data on the Community workforce
In the April 2026 publication month, we intend to release data relating to the Community workforce. This will be based on the NHS workforce as recorded on the Electronic Staff Record (ESR).
We have worked with stakeholders within this field to refine a definition for the Community workforce. This definition draws on a selection of Occupation Codes, Areas of Work, and Trust types. The full definition listing all the Occupation Code, Area of Work, and Trust type inclusions will be made available with the data release.
Data will initially be classed as Official Statistics in Development. As with all such releases, we will invite and review feedback and introduce changes if required.
