Extend £5000 grant to medical and dental students
Medical and dental students should be entitled to get the £5000 a year that nursing, midwifery and some other health care students are now entitled to from the 2020/21 teaching year.
This would allow students from poorer backgrounds to be more financially supported and encourage students to apply from poorer families to apply.
Not all medical and dental students come from wealthier families. Particularly now there are several widening access courses available for students from less wealthy backgrounds and many of these students need extra support. It seems unfair that many health care students apart from medical and dental students will be provided this £5000, as these courses will also have students from wealthier backgrounds.
