What the petition asks
This petition is to ask for the government to make it compulsory that the practical side to critical care courses are done face to face
Nursing courses require 50% of their content being practical learning. Yet some students are being denied this, clinical skills now being done online and placements being put back. Nurses will not feel comfortable performing duties that require physical intervention if they have not had the relevant support.
Some universities are cancelling placements and clinical skills due to the current situation. I'm hoping this could be changed so it is made compulsory for critical care courses.

Why it was rejected
It asked for something that is not the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament.
Decisions about teaching of indiviudal courses is, provided this is consistnet with Covid-19 regulations, a matter for individual educational providers, not the UK Government or Parliament.
If you have concerns about your university's arrangements for teaching you should raise these with your educational institution.
