Cancel all fees for student nurses forced to work during the Covid-19 pandemic.
Student nurses are currently working in the NHS during the Covid-19 pandemic.
These brave people are putting their lives on the line for us without payment, they have not been mentioned in the Chancellors package of help for business and individuals.
Remove student debt for NHS workers.
It is morally wrong for the country to ask these individuals to put their lives on the line then ask them to pay for the privilege.
The country owes them a huge debt and we the undersigned would like to see this situation remedied as quickly as possible. The government should be paying all NHS student tuition fees it is the very least we can do to thank them for their bravery and dedication during these uncertain times.
