Fund free tuition fees for all doctors and nurses who agree to work for the NHS

Closed 32 signatures

What the petition asks

We have a shortage of Doctors and Nurses and need to do something to address this. We believe funding free higher education for Doctors and Nurses, provided they will sign up to work for NHS at least 20 years after qualifying, is the best option.
We believe the best way Government can overcome shortage of Doctors and Nurses in NHS is to fund free education for them. In the long run this could benefit the Government and NHS financially by helping ensure that health problems can be address earlier, before they become serious and costly.
