The number of GPs and other Drs is dropping because of Brexit and Covid stress-related issues now and over the last 2 years of the pandemic, I would expect this graph to plummet (of course I could be wrong).

I'm not convinced that physician is a good term when planning resources either.
I don't have an agenda or view on this. I was curious and looked up the data. That is all. Honestly, I was surprised the UK has a higher ratio of medics per capita.

Having lived in France, I'd say the poster child for medics per capita in Europe would be there.
