As of 2023, Italy had 6.23 thousand practising physicians in neurology. The forecast data indicates a gradual decline over the next five years, with figures decreasing to 6.08 thousand by 2028. Year-on-year, this decline is modest, averaging around 0.48% annually, with a cumulative average growth rate (CAGR) of approximately -0.44% from 2024 to 2028. This indicates a stable, yet slightly diminishing trend in the number of practising neurologists in Italy.

Future trends to watch for include:

Impact of healthcare policies and training incentives on the neurologist workforce.
Technological advancements potentially changing the demand for neurologists.
Population aging, potentially increasing demand for neurological services.
