• Joiners are defined as staff that have a record in the current year but did not have a record in the previous year. E.g. nursing staff that have a record in March 2021 but no record in March 2020 appear in the total for 2020-21
• Leavers are defined as staff that have a record in the previous year but do not have a record in the current year. E.g. nursing staff that have a record in March 2020 but no record in March 2021 appear in the total for 2020-21
