Freeze Registration fees for NHS workers for 1 year following COVID-19

Rejected 19 signatures

What the petition asks

Put a Freeze or stop Registration fees for NHS workers. Cost of PIN numbers should be held in this time of crisis. Due to additional staff being needed.

The wages for NHS is minimal anyway and at the moment many Trained staff are working additional hours to assist in the COVID crisis. To then worry about paying fees to the NMC or MDU should not be an option.
Reduce additional stress and anxiety in an already stressful time.
