The forecast for the share of female practicing physicians aged 35 or less in the UK indicates a minor declining trend from 2024 onwards, decreasing from 54.78% in 2024 to 54.7% in 2028. In 2023, this cohort represented approximately 54.80%. The small annual decreases show a year-on-year variation of roughly 0.05%, culminating in a slight reduced outlook over the five-year period. The projected compound annual growth rate (CAGR) for 2024 to 2028 is marginally negative, reflecting the subtle downturn in female representation.

Future trends to watch for:

Policies promoting gender equity in medical education and training could stabilize these proportions.
Societal and cultural dynamics influencing work-life balance may affect female participation rates among younger physicians.
Technological advancements and flexible working conditions might encourage a shift in future demographics.
