Health Education England (HEE) collects information bi-annually to show the total number of nurses and midwives in training. The information collected by HEE does not distinguish between learners on a full-time or part-time basis.
The latest information collected by HEE in September 2016 showed that there were 52,101 nurses and 6,795 midwives in training in England.
