UMAPs has been granted permission to take key parts of its judicial review to a full substantive hearing.

In this episode, we break down what actually survived, what didn’t, and what happens next.

We also look at the wider context around the Leng Review — because although the court has refused to let the “appeasement” argument proceed, that does not mean the hostile professional and industrial environment surrounding PAs simply disappears from the story.

And after years of decisions being made about our profession, some of those decisions will finally have to be defended.

Better late than never.

Discretion always advised.
