More than 3,000 Nottinghamshire NHS workers quit their job last year, statistics have shown. Whist more than 4,000 joined the sector in 2021, unions and campaign groups said the NHS has a "serious shortage" of all types of staff.
According to NHS digital data, 3,320 employees left the NHS across the city and county in 2021, including 1,780 at Nottingham University Hospitals (NUH), which runs Queen's Medical Centre and City Hospital. The trust managed to recruit 1,799 in the same year, but the number of homegrown workers dropped.
In 2015, domestically-trained doctors and nurses accounted for 86 percent of NUH's new recruits. In 2021 that figure dropped to 71 percent.
