Answer
The Department does not hold the data requested. Nurses, upon graduation, may take up registered nursing roles in a range of organisations such as local authorities, social care providers, charities, or private sector providers, as well as in the National Health Service.
On 11 August 2025, the Government announced the Graduate Guarantee for nurses and midwives. The package of measures will unlock thousands of jobs and will ensure thousands of new posts are easier to access by removing barriers for NHS trusts, creating opportunities for graduates and ensuring a seamless transition from training to employment.
