Waive all student loans and reimburse all clinical training fees for NHS staff

Closed 895 signatures

What the petition asks

To recognise emphatically the gratitude this nation feels for its NHS and all those who served above and beyond to save lives over the course of this pandemic.
This Nation owes a debt of gratitude to ALL NHS staff (from Doctors and nurses to therapists and technicians) including students who entered service early and those who returned to service because of the pandemic. A trivial pay rise is an insult. They are the best of us and have proved their worth immeasurably and should have their student loans entirely waived, and clinical training fees reimbursed, as a sign of gratitude this nation feels for their service above and beyond the call of duty through the covid-19 pandemic.
