The share of male practicing physicians aged 45-54 in the UK was 12.04% in 2023. Forecast data suggests a gradual decline: 11.87% in 2024, decreasing year-on-year by approximately 1.4%, reaching 11.19% by 2028. This equates to a 5-year compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of -1.48%.
Future trends to watch for:
- Continued decrease in the share of male physicians in this age group due to workforce demographic shifts and potentially more women entering and remaining in the profession.
- Possible implications for healthcare provision and workforce planning as the age distribution of physicians changes.
