In 2025, out of the 395 thousand registered doctors in the United Kingdom, 202 thousand were men and 193 thousand were women. There was a more pronounced gender gap among specialist doctors in the UK, with 69 thousand men to nearly 44 thousand women qualified on the specialist register. Although on the GP register, women outnumber men with over 45 thousand female GPs to nearly 35 thousand male GPs. Gender distribution of UK doctors by age While there are more male doctors than female doctors in total, the gender distribution of doctors in the UK looks different depending on the age group. Female doctors outnumber their male counterpart in all age groups under 45 years old. Therefore, as more doctors retire, the proportion of female doctors will increase. Worldwide make-up of doctors in the UK Although the majority of medical practitioners in the UK received their medical qualification from within the UK, there is still a significant number of doctors who graduated outside the UK. As of 2024, some 10 percent of registered doctors in the UK are from the European Economic Area (EEA) while a further third are international medical graduates (IMG) indicating the reliance of the NHS on immigration to support the organization’s workforce.

The United Kingdom has seen a significant increase in the number of general practitioners (GPs) over the past two decades, reaching nearly 54,000 in 2023. This figure represents a slight decrease from the previous year, which marked the highest number of GPs in the country since 2000. Gender dynamics in general practice A notable trend in the UK's GP workforce is the growing representation of female doctors. In NHS England, female GPs outnumbered their male counterparts, with over 20,000 female GPs compared to approximately 17,800 male GPs as of December 2024. This shift is not limited to England, as Scotland and Wales have also seen a rise in female GPs. In Scotland, there were about 3,200 female GPs compared to 1,900 male GPs in 2023, while Wales reported 1,334 female GPs and 996 male GPs in 2024. Comparison with other European countries While the UK has made strides in increasing its GP workforce, it still ranks third in Europe in terms of the number of practicing GPs. France leads with 65,469 GPs, followed by Germany with 60,601 in 2021. It's worth noting that the UK experienced a spike in GP numbers in 2020, likely due to emergency measures implemented during the early stages of the pandemic, including the introduction of a temporary emergency register and earlier registration of graduates.

BackgroundThe COVID-19 pandemic is an unprecedented global public health crisis that continues to exert immense pressure on healthcare and related professional staff and services. The impact on staff wellbeing is likely to be influenced by a combination of modifiable and non-modifiable factors.ObjectivesThe aim of this study is to evaluate the effect of the COVID-19 pandemic on the self-reported wellbeing, resilience, and job satisfaction of National Health Service (NHS) and university staff working in the field of healthcare and medical research.MethodsWe conducted a cross sectional survey of NHS and UK university staff throughout the COVID-19 pandemic between May-November 2020. The anonymous and voluntary survey was disseminated through social media platforms, and via e-mail to members of professional and medical bodies. The data was analyzed using descriptive and regression (R) statistics.ResultsThe enjoyment of work and satisfaction outside of work was significantly negatively impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic for all of staff groups independent of other variables. Furthermore, married women reporting significantly lower wellbeing than married men (P = 0.028). Additionally, the wellbeing of single females was significantly lower than both married women and men (P = 0.017 and P < 0.0001, respectively). Gender differences were also found in satisfaction outside of work, with women reporting higher satisfaction than men before the COVID-19 pandemic (P = 0.0002).ConclusionOur study confirms that the enjoyment of work and general satisfaction of staff members has been significantly affected by the first wave of the COVID-19 pandemic. Interestingly, being married appears to be a protective factor for wellbeing and resilience but the effect may be reversed for life satisfaction outside work. Our survey highlights the critical need for further research to examine gender differences using a wider range of methods.
In 2024, there were 681 dermatology consultants working in NHS England, and another 274 dermatologist with the staff grade specialty registrar. Dermatologists are doctors who specialize in the treatment of skin conditions in particular, but also any problems with nails and hair. Skin cancer on the rise In the last twenty years, the rate of skin cancer diagnoses has significantly increased in England. In 2021, 470.4 men and 258.9 women per 100,000 population were newly diagnosed with skin cancer. This represents almost three times the incidence of skin cancer in both genders compared to the year 2000. Non-surgical cosmetic proceduresBesides skin exams, dermatologists also perform many cosmetic procedures such as scar removal or dermal fillers. Worldwide, the most common non-invasive procedures were Botox, followed by hyaluronic acid. In the UK, a survey found that 26 percent of adults have had a non-invasive treatment such as a chemical peel.
This information is presented nationally and in regional breakdowns, and includes breakdowns by categories including age and gender. It also includes information on the practices and their patients.
The number of paramedics in the United Kingdom has seen significant growth over the past decade, reaching 40,700 in March 2024. This increase reflects the growing demand for emergency medical services and the vital role paramedics play in the healthcare system. Despite some fluctuations, the overall trend shows a substantial rise from 20,500 paramedics in 2010. Demographic Trends in Emergency Care In England, young children under five accounted for nearly 2.6 million accident and emergency visits in 2022/23, highlighting the importance of pediatric emergency care. Additionally, there's a slight gender disparity in A&E attendances, with women making up about 51 percent of visits in 2022/23, a trend that has increased over the past decade. Patterns in Emergency Department Utilization Understanding when and why people seek emergency care is crucial for paramedic staffing and resource allocation. Mondays are consistently the busiest days for A&E departments, with nearly 3.7 million attendances recorded on this day of the week in 2022/23. Interestingly, among the various reasons for A&E visits, tonsillitis accounted for approximately 1.4 percent of initial diagnoses in 2022/23, highlighting the diverse range of medical issues paramedics encounter in their daily work.

28 November 2019. Following user and stakeholder consultation, we made several revisions to our data processing and methodology and revised all figures from September 2015 to December 2018 in the General Practice Workforce December 2018 publication. Following later changes to the September 2015 to December 2016 full-time equivalent (FTE) GP locum figures, we revised all affected locum figures in the General Practice Workforce September 2019 publication. The figures in this publication are no longer valid as they were calculated using the previous methodology and therefore have now been superseded. More information and the revised figures can be found on the General Practice Workforce September 2019 publication page at https://digital.nhs.uk/data-and-information/publications/statistical/general-and-personal-medical-services/final-30-september-2019. This report presents data about GPs, Nurses, Direct Patient Care and Admin/Non-Clinical staff working in General Practice in England, along with information on their patients, practice and the services they provide. This is a quarterly publication and includes final data from September 2015 to September 2018. Final December 2018 data will be available in February 2019. CHANGE NOTICE: From the June 2018 collection, the source for GP Registrars (foundation and specialty registrar trainees on placements in General Practice) changed. The new data source is the Health Education England (HEE) Trainee Information System (TIS). This has improved the quality of our Registrar data and removes the need for a provisional data release. This publication contains June 2018 and September 2018 data based on the change in data source, with information prior to June 2018 using the previous source of ESR data. CONSULTATION: Further information on the new data source for GP registrars and other proposed improvements to the General Practice Workforce publication are discussed in our "Methodological Change Notice" available under Resources. We are continually looking to improve the quality of the data in this series to make them more useful for our users and we welcome any feedback on these proposed changes to gp-data@nhs.net, by the 20th January 2018. Various data breakdowns are available in the accompanying Excel and CSV files, including time series and breakdowns by categories such as age and gender. Data is also presented regionally and at practice level in the accompanying CSVs. This publication also features an online interactive dashboard which allows users to explore the underlying data in a variety of ways. This can be accessed by clicking on the dashboard icon below.

This report presents data about GPs, Nurses, Direct Patient Care and Admin/Non-Clinical staff working in General Practice in England, along with information on their patients and practices. This series of statistics is now collected and published monthly. This is the first release to be published using the monthly data collection, and due to data completeness and coverage issues with the GP locum data, we are releasing full time equivalent figures only at this stage. We have calculated estimated FTE figures for GP locums and aim to devise a methodology to estimate the headcount figures as soon as possible. This release includes full time equivalent figures in the Excel Bulletin, which includes time series figures as well as breakdowns by characteristics such as age and gender. Practice-level figures are available in the CSV. Information on the next phase of changes will be detailed in future publications. We welcome feedback from all our users on these proposals, by email to: PrimaryCareWorkforce@nhs.net. Information about the contents of this publication and how it can and cannot be used, can be found in the Report tab. Our publication includes information on recent and planned changes as well as highlighting future developments. We are continually working to improve our publication to ensure the components are as useful and relevant as possible for our users. In the publication of data for 30 September 2019, released 28 November 2019, we implemented a range of improvements and revised the time back to September 2015 when these statistics were first published. As the new time series supersedes earlier figures, we have archived the original publications and advise you not to use them.

The Health Survey for England series was designed to monitor trends in the nation's health, to estimate the proportion of people in England who have specified health conditions, and to estimate the prevalence of certain risk factors and combinations of risk factors associated with these conditions. The surveys provide regular information that cannot be obtained from other sources on a range of aspects concerning the public's health and many of the factors that affect health. Each survey in the series includes core questions and measurements (such as blood pressure, height and weight, and analysis of blood and saliva samples), as well as modules of questions on topics that vary from year to year. Four topics are reported for the first time this year: medicines, eye care, end of life care and a comparison of the health of shift workers and non-shift workers. Many chapters in this report contain more charts and less detailed descriptive text than in previous survey reports. We would very much welcome readers' views about this change. The Health Survey for England has been carried out since 1994 by the Joint Health Surveys Unit of NatCen Social Research and the Research Department of Epidemiology and Public Health at UCL (University College London). A total of 8,795 adults and 2,185 children were interviewed in 2013. Please note this release was revised on 11 December 2014. This revision corrected Chapter 7 figures for median and mean number of portions of fruit and vegetables and the associated standard errors in the tables and corrected the 2013 data points for men and women aged 33-64 in Figure 10P - Morbid Obesity Prevalence, 1993-2013.
