Bring home UK healthcare staff trapped overseas to help battle COVID-19
Petition to support the UK healthcare staff stuck overseas trying to get back to the UK to help in the fight against COVID-19. There are doctors, nurses and other health care professionals trapped unable to get home to help the NHS. There is no support from the Foreign Office.
Sign this petition and get the Foreign Office to support these UK nationals to come home. They are stranded due to borders closing, flights being cancelled and having no way to get home on commercial flights. Please sign and support this petition and get these NHS heroes home to help in the Coronavirus fight.
