Waive NMC/GMC fees during Covid-19

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

Nurses, midwives and doctors pay an annual registration fee of up to £399 to the Nursing and Midwifery Council and the General Medical Council in order to work.

We ask that these fees are waived for the next 12 months as thank you for all the hard work and dedication they’ve given.

They have the power to advise the governing bodies to waive the fees
