Closed petition Make students at medical schools work for the NHS for at least 5 years

Closed on 30 May 2024

We believe the NHS desperately needs more doctors. We think too many doctors graduating from universities go overseas to earn more money, or never even work as a doctor at all.

We think that students should agree before joining university, that they will do paid NHS work after graduating for 5 years, or pay back taxpayer costs.

The NHS hires a lot of doctors from less developed countries, which we think is unfair on those countries, as vulnerable people there are deprived of their essential doctors.

We believe students should only be accepted to medical training, if they agree to at least 5 years NHS work, or have to repay any and all taxpayer costs in their training.
