Rejected petition Give all University Students on NHS placements the national minimum wage.
Rejected on
University Health related courses such as Radiography, Nursing, Midwifery etc have to complete clinical placements throughout the 3 year degrees. The students aren’t paid for any of this work undertaken and I think it would be an advantage if they were paid the national minimum wage for their work.
