What the petition asks
Current situations unravelling in Ukraine has left many British students with a question mark in the ability to safely complete their education. With these concerns, we turn to the UK government to help introduce policies which enable students to continue medical studies in UK universities.
As the Russian invasion over Ukraine escalates, students face a very uncertain future due to concerns regarding the continuation of their studies.
Many British students in Ukraine have pursued medicine and dentistry in the hopes of not only making a difference in people’s lives, but to also contribute to and support our NHS.
With these aspirations in mind, students have spent years accumulating skills to assist their future roles which, in this volatile situation, has come under jeopardy.
