NHS Digital publishes data on the nationality of doctors working in the National Health Service in England. This is a self-reported field within the NHS human resources and payroll system, the electronic staff record.

This data is published twice a year and the next set will be published in December 2016 showing the position at September 2016.

The latest data is for March 2016 and is available from NHS Digital’s website at the following link:
