Scrap university fees for doctors, nurses, etc providing they finish the course.

Closed 165 signatures

What the petition asks

I believe the government should scrap all university fees for Doctors, Nurses, Paramedics, etc and only charge them if they do not complete the course and work for a minimum terms eg the length of their course.
This is because health care professionals hold our country together. They dedicate their lives to helping the whole country and without them we are nothing. They should not have to pay tens of thousands of pounds to serve our country in the amazing and dedicated way that they do. My brother is currently attending St George’s University to get his Medical degree and we as a family are having to pay for all of his fees due to him already having a degree funded although he is going to be a doctor.
