Every student nurse deserves a solid start in the profession, but now, too many students struggle financially and this has to change.

We’re calling for:

✅ A full review of student financial support across all four UK countries

In England we’re calling for:

✅ A commitment to writing off student loans in return for working for the NHS/other public services
✅ improved financial support by increasing the Learning Support Fund to reflect cost of living and inflation
✅ for student placement expenses to be paid on time.
