Rejected petition Cancel NHS nurses & junior doctors' tuition fee debt who are fighting COVID-19

Cancel all tuition fee debt for nurses and junior doctors who are currently working for the NHS to fight the Corona Virus and save lives. This will give recognition for their service to this country at this time and ensure the government acknowledges their value and sacrifice.

More details

Many nurses and doctors working for the NHS right now are putting their lives and those of their loved ones on the line to fight COVID-19. Our medical professionals are working relentlessly to save lives and are not adequately recognised for their sacrifices and service.

It is appalling that nurses and doctors joining the NHS workforce pay tuition fees in the first place. They accumulate significant debt to provide a vital service to the country. The COVID-19 crisis has highlighted this.
