Description
The National Workforce Data Set (NWD) is a reference data standard comprising standardised definitions to facilitate the capture of nationally consistent information relating to the NHS and wider healthcare workforce. NWD data items support a variety of workforce collections and are also embedded within operational HR/workforce IT systems, including the Electronic Staff Record (ESR) and NHS Jobs.
Applicability
This information standard applies to multiple organisations, including but not limited to:
NHS organisations
Department of Health and Social Care
NHS England and NHS Improvement
Health Education England
other Arm’s Length Bodies of the DHSC
other providers of NHS funded care including Independent Sector Health Care Providers, Social Enterprises and other Third Sector organisations.
It may also be used in Local Authorities and Social Care organisations where applicable.
Note that the information standard is approved for use in England. However, the NHS in Wales also uses the standard and is encouraged to do so.
