The latest annual workforce census data, published by the Health and Social Care Information Centre, provides information on the numbers of radiographers and radiologists working in the National Health Service in England as at 30 September each year. The numbers of full time equivalent radiographers and radiologists working in the NHS in England in each of the last five years are shown in the attached table. The latest available statistics are as at 30 September 2013 and were published on 25 March 2014.

Radiographers and radiologists also work in the private and independent sectors but the numbers are not collected centrally. The Society of Radiographers may be able to supply more information on radiographers. Their website is available at:
