Rejected petition Make face to face learning compulsory for critical care courses

This petition is to ask for the government to make it compulsory that the practical side to critical care courses are done face to face

More details

Nursing courses require 50% of their content being practical learning. Yet some students are being denied this, clinical skills now being done online and placements being put back. Nurses will not feel comfortable performing duties that require physical intervention if they have not had the relevant support.

Some universities are cancelling placements and clinical skills due to the current situation. I'm hoping this could be changed so it is made compulsory for critical care courses.
