Fund Increase in medical school places in Universities from 2020

Closed 165 signatures

What the petition asks

Due to Covid-19 pandemic it is vital for our country to get more doctors, nurses and medical workers for the future of this country.

To be able to achieve this we need to give young people access to medical school and create more places at Universities for them.
Every year there is huge shortage with the amount of NHS heath workers.

It would be greatly beneficial to create extra 2000 medical school places every year to help the country to get more doctors, nurses and heath workers.

This should be a priority for the government, especially with the current crisis and to ensure the wellbeing of the nation.
