Refund Physician Associate Graduated / Students!

Rejected 14 signatures

What the petition asks

The recent years have imposed various challenges to students and graduates. Following the leng review there are even fewer jobs and others have been unfairly dismissed.
Since things are not improving and we are having to find other jobs, we should be refunded for the course fees, PANE/PARA costs and registration fees. If this is not a possibility then we should at least be given credits towards other health related courses such as Advanced Clinical Practice, Medicine, Nursing, Physiotherapy, Occupational Therapy etc.

Why it was rejected

It asked for something that is not the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament.

We can only accept petitions about things the Government or Parliament are directly responsible for.

Decisions about refunding fees are a matter for the Royal College of Physicians, and decisions about credits are a matter for individual universities, not the UK Government or Parliament.
