The number of female practising physicians in the UK is projected to increase from 112.15 thousand in 2024 to 123.79 thousand by 2028. This marks an annual growth rate (CAGR) of approximately 2.5% over the five-year period. Comparing 2024 to 2023, the forecast indicates a significant upward trend, continuing from recent years as the industry actively addresses gender imbalances in the medical profession.
Future trends to watch for:
- Increased emphasis on gender equality within the healthcare sector that could further accelerate the growth of female physicians.
- Potential impacts of healthcare policy changes on workforce demographics.
- Collaboration opportunities in women's health initiatives that could boost female participation.
