In 2023, the share of practising physicians aged 35-44 in the UK was 29.36% of the total physicians. The forecasted data from 2024 to 2028 shows a very slight annual decrease in the share, with 2024 starting at 29.35% and 2028 ending at 29.31%. The year-on-year variation is minimal, indicating stability in this age group's proportion within the physician workforce. The Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) over the last five years underscores a consistent pattern.
Future trends to watch for include:
- Potential shifts in workforce demographics due to policy changes affecting medical training and retention.
- Increases in employment of international practitioners to address aging populations and retirements among older physicians.
- Impact of healthcare demands on the strategic recruitment of younger practitioners.
