In 2023, the share of female practicing physicians aged 75+ in the UK was 0.03% of the total physicians. The forecast for 2024 through 2027 anticipates stability at 0.04%, with a slight increase to 0.05% in 2028. Over the last two years, there is no year-on-year variation, maintaining a consistent rate. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over the five-year forecast period shows a modest increase, reflecting a gradual trend in the aging population of female physicians.
Future trends to watch for include the augmentation of female representation in senior practicing roles, driven by earlier-career retention and increased gender parity initiatives in medical education and employment.
