Workforce Race Equality Standard (WRES): Indicators for the NHS medical workforce
NHS England updated 7 September 2020
  • A bespoke set of WRES indicators have been developed for the NHS medical workforce. This document outlines the rationale for these indicators and explains how they will work. A full set of data against these indicators will be presented as part of the annual WRES data report for NHS trusts.
  • There are eleven indicators for the medical workforce. Four of the indicators reflect variation in career progression and pay, six represent medical staff perceptions of how they are treated by colleagues, employing organisations and patients, and one highlights the diversity of the councils and boards of medical institutions.
