In 2022, approximately 25 thousand registered doctors with a license in the United Kingdom (UK) received their primary medical qualification (PMQ) from the European Economic Area (EEA) excluding the UK. The sudden increase of numbers in 2020 and 2021 was most likely a reflection of temporary emergency register doctors, who were added to the workforce as part of the COVID response. This statistic displays the number of licensed doctors in the UK who received their PMQ in the EEA from 2012 to 2022.
