<p>The Higher Education Statistics Agency (HESA) collects and publishes statistics
on the higher education (HE) workforce in their staff record.</p><p>The staff record
includes the cost centre that members of the workforce are employed in. Midwifery
is not identified as a separate cost centre, so the data presented here show statistics
on academic staff that fall within the nursing and allied health professions[1] cost
centre, which includes midwifery academics.</p><p>HESA publish academic staff data
by full-person equivalent (FPE) and full-time equivalent (FTE)[2], but do not publish
all requested information for England specifically so, where available, this has been
set out in the tables below. The department’s analysis has been used to supplement
the published data. The latest year for which HESA have published this level of detail
on cost centres is 2020/21. HESA will publish data for 2021/22 on 21 February 2023.</p><p>Table
1 shows the full published time series for the UK for FPE and FTE. Table 2 shows the
corresponding time series for England, with previously unpublished FPE figures produced
by DfE. Table 2 data for 2012/13 and 2013/14 could not be produced in time for inclusion.
Table 3 shows the age breakdowns for 2018/19 and 2020/21 for FPE in the UK (published
by HESA) and England (previously unpublished). Table 3 data for 2013/14 could not
be produced in time for inclusion.</p><p><strong>Table 1: Full-person equivalent and

analysis of the HESA Staff record.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>[1] HESA changed
cost centre groupings in 2012/13: for the academic year 2011/12, the relevant cost
centre grouping is nursing and paramedical studies.</p><p>[2] FPE relates to the proportion
of a person's time allocated to different activities, so total FPE is not a simple
headcount (for example, a person working across cost centres would have a fractional
FPE assigned to each). FTE relates to the proportion of working hours that a person
has been contracted to work in different activities (so a part-time staff member would
have lower FTEs for each activity than a than full-time staff member). See HESA for
a full explanation here: <a href="https://www.hesa.ac.uk/collection/c20025/fte_vs_fpe"
target="_blank">https://www.hesa.ac.uk/collection/c20025/fte_vs_fpe</a>.</p><p>[3]
Cost centre is a financial concept which groups staff members to specific related
cost centres. They relate to where the resources (staff) deployed to teach the student
are located.</p><p>[4] Counts are based on full-person-equivalents. Individuals can
hold more than one contract with a provider and each contract may involve more than
one activity. Figures have been rounded to the nearest 5, in line with HESA rounding
conventions. Numbers may not sum due to rounding.</p><p>[5] Staff full-time equivalent
(FTE) is defined by the contract(s) of employment and is proportioned to each activity's
cost centre.</p>
