Medical students who left university this year to have tuition fees scraped

Rejected 10 signatures

What the petition asks

Remove tuition fees for medical students wanting a career in the National Health Service and for those students currently at or leaving university.

These students are putting their life's at risk to help the National Health Service tackle Covid-19. The NHS are actively recruiting abroad and are paying golden handshakes due to staff shortages, but a British university medical graduate leaves university with a minimum of £27,000 debt.
