In 2023, the share of practising physicians aged 45-54 in the UK was at 22.63%. Looking ahead, forecasts show a slight decline in this demographic with values gradually decreasing from 22.63% in 2024 to 22.61% by 2028. The annual year-on-year change is marginal, remaining almost constant over this period. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over the next five years indicates negligible movement, reflecting stability in this age group's proportion among physicians.

Future trends to watch for include:

Policy changes impacting retirement age which could affect age distribution.
Shifts in workforce demographics as newer, younger physicians enter the field.
The influence of training and immigration policies on the physician age structure.
