I have been working as a community nurse and my job made me realise how crucial the government should consider make it compolsory for all new trained nurses to have knowledge of mental and physical needs of their patients to be able to meet their needs whether in their homes or hospital settings.

Why it was rejected

It was not clear what the petition asked the UK Government or Parliament to do.

We are not sure exactly what you'd like the Government or Parliament to do. Petitions need to call on the Government or Parliament to take a specific action.

You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you'd like the Government or Parliament to do. For example, you could start a new petition asking the UK Parliament and Government to introduce mandatory training for nurses in supporting people with mental health conditions, if that’s what you'd like to happen.
