This is the third 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 may now begin to allow users to consider relative changes over time.
This publication incorporates feedback received in response to the two previous publications and welcomes further input regarding the future development of this publication series.
