Number of specialist doctors on the register in the UK 2006-2023

The number of doctors in the specialist register in the United Kingdom increased over the period observed, from 57,777 in 2006 to 110,444 in 2023. The sudden increase in specialists in 2020 could be explained by the emergency measures taken in the early stages of the pandemic, such as the introduction of a temporary emergency register and the earlier registration of graduates. Similar spikes were also noticed among other doctors, such as general practitioners.

在英国专科医生注册名录中，观察期内医生人数呈现增长趋势，从2006年的57,777人增至2023年的110,444人。2020年专科医生人数的急剧增长，可归因于疫情初期所采取的应急措施，例如临时应急注册名录的设立以及毕业生注册的提前。在其他医生群体，如全科医生中，也观察到了类似的峰值。
