Do you mean the actors? Then just say doctor who actors.
Because in canon, it's one being. And his name is The Doctor. Not doctor who.
Exactly my conundrum! In canon the Doctor changes faces and personalities (and Tardises) periodically. What is (or what should be) the collective term for these manifestations?
...The Doctor.
Just like child you and adult you are both you. They're just different phases of the same person's life.
Gallefreyan biology is a bit different, but it amounts to the same thing.
Of course, the name "Doctor Who" has been used in canon (if there is such a thing) on multiple occasions.
