Rejected petition Make UK National Doctors Day on April 9th

We would like the government to declare the date May 7th as National Doctors Day.

More details

Our NHS Doctors need the recognition they deserve considering the circumstances of the Pandemic we are all currently experiencing. Each and every Doctor should be applauded every single day, let alone year. Our lives are placed into their hands every day and they do their best to save each and every one of us. Our NHS would not be running right now, this year, 2020, without them.
