A union has lost a High Court bid to temporarily block NHS England from proceeding with changes to the roles of physician and anaesthesia associates after the Leng review.

United Medical Associate Professionals (UMAPs) wanted to halt the implementation of the recommendations until the conclusion of the judicial review it is bringing against NHS England and health secretary Wes Streeting.
