In 2024, over ** thousand doctors were on the GP register in the United Kingdom. Since 2006, the number of general practitioners (GP) has been increasing. In 2020, the number of GPs spiked in the UK. Emergency measures taken in the early stages of the pandemic largely explain this trend, such as the introduction of a temporary emergency register and the earlier registration of graduates. A similar spike was seen among specialist doctors.
