Paid placement for student therapeutic and diagnostic radiographers.

What the petition asks
Student radiographers are putting their own lives at risk in order to work in unprecedented dangerous times and were paid for only a short stint, the circumstances remain the same yet students are not being paid for working full time hours with the same demands as properly insured paid employees.
Students are not only receiving a compromised university education, but also a compromised learning environment within hospitals which are already dealing with extreme stress. Students should be reimbursed for the circumstances under which they are providing healthcare for free, whilst putting their own lives at risk.
