Rejected petition Write off all university loans for Operating Department Practitioners and Nurses

The NHS is severely understaffed, and need more Operating Department Practitioners and Nurses.
As NHS staff, we are risking our lives at present, to provide care for our country during this crisis. For our hard work and dedication, the writing off, of our student loans would be greatly appreciated.

More details

I think that it would relieve the stress, financial strain and mental anguish that we have, knowing that we have a huge debt to pay. As NHS workers, we want to put all of our strength, effort and dedication into helping to save lives, and improve health. We have trained long and hard, in the process to get to such a high level. And we are now working on the front line, saving people’s lives. Additionally, in order to attract more recruits to the NHS, student tuition fees should be written off.
