The number of practicing physicians in Accident and Emergency Medicine in the UK is anticipated to rise steadily from 2024 to 2028. The values indicate an increase from 14.89 health professionals per hundred thousand persons in 2024 to 15.57 by 2028. This growth reflects an average year-on-year increase of approximately 1% over the forecasted period. Calculating a longer-term outlook, the Compounded Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) over five years is anticipated to follow a similar trend.
Future trends to watch include healthcare policy changes impacting recruiting and training, shifts in population demographics, and resource allocation within the NHS, which may influence the supply and demand dynamics in emergency medicine staffing.
