Due to COVID-19, part-time employment is not readily available for healthcare students to support themselves. This makes the coming academic year more difficult, potentially unfeasible, for many healthcare students.
These healthcare students will take part in placements where there will be at risk of contracting COVID-19. The large majority (understandably excluding those at-risk) will do so without hesitation. They want to learn, to gain experience, and to help NHS service users. The efforts of certain students shouldn’t be devalued because of their country of origin. Thank you for taking the time to read this petition.
