NHS Workforce Statistics - October 2025
Official statistics
Following the successful production of data 8 weeks after period end (instead of the previous 12 weeks), we have now moved to a single set of data files produced via new data processing methods. This publication now only contains outputs in the format of the files previously labelled as ‘Preliminary’.
To allow the adoption of a new publication timetable, both the September 2025 and October 2025 data months are being released on 8 January 2026.
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.
