The report, compiled by the Association of Professional Staffing Companies (APSCo) using data provided by Broadbean Technology, revealed that the gap between supply and demand continues to increase.

Ann Swain, CEO of APSCo, commented, “The recruitment landscape in the healthcare sector has clearly been hit hard by the general unrest being reported.

“With strike action, the NHS reaching crisis point and workload pressures growing, the data shows significant uncertainty in healthcare hiring.

“The recruitment difficulties faced by hospitals and Trusts in recent years have clearly impacted hiring activity and applicant availability.
