The BMA loses judicial review claim against GMCUK

The BMA had sought declarations that 1) the application of Good Medical Practice to Physician Associates and Anaesthesia Associates is lawful and 2) use of the term ‘medical professionals’ by the GMC when referring to PAs and AAs is unlawful. The High Court dismissed the BMA’s claim on all three grounds of challenge.
