A union is seeking a High Court injunction to stop NHS England from pressing ahead with changes to the roles of physician and anaesthesia associates following the Leng review.

United Medical Associate Professionals (UMAPs) wants 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.
