- 10,177 Signatures
(Estimated Final Signatures: 10,208 - 10 added in the past 24hrs)
Hospices provide vital care yet are dependent on fundraising. Palliative care costs are lower in a hospice than hospital. UK hospices are in financial crisis, having to drastically reduce specialist services for patients and their families or face closure. Hospices urgently need appropriate funding.

- 1,743 Signatures
(Estimated Final Signatures: 1,752 - 2 added in the past 24hrs)
Introduce early mandatory scanning at 9-10 weeks to help reduce miscarriages going undetected. 1 in 4 women suffer a miscarriage. 1-5% of these are known as a "missed miscarriage", which averagely happens between 6-9 weeks and are only detected at the 12 week scan.

Review NHS guidance on iron deficiency for women
- 370 Signatures
(Estimated Final Signatures: 384 - 3 added in the past 24hrs)
Iron deficiency is one of the leading contributors to the global burden of disease, disproportionately impacting reproductive age women. We think iron deficiency is often overlooked because blood counts or ferritin is in “normal range” and NHS guidance should be reviewed to support women's health.

Fully fund tuition fees for all healthcare-related degree programs
- 218 Signatures
(Estimated Final Signatures: 228 - 1 added in the past 24hrs)
Fund healthcare tuition fees and reintroduce living grants. The NHS spends £2bn+ on agency staff while students work thousands of clinical hours for free. We think we must remove debt barriers & placement poverty to stop dropouts, end the staffing crisis, and ensure the NHS is staffed for the future
