The motion

That the Parliament commends the 396 student nurses and nine staff members from the University of Stirling who have volunteered so far to join healthcare workers on the frontline during the COVID-19 outbreak; recognises their commitment to serving their communities and their dedication to tackle the biggest challenge that people have faced in their lifetimes; believes them to be an inspiring example of the dedication and public service shown by NHS workers across Scotland; understands that they will make a significant contribution to nationwide efforts with NHS colleagues, bringing first-rate training and skills with them; recognises that this number is likely to be strengthened by further student nurses from the university; notes that the student nurses will continue to work towards their degrees while gaining experience on the frontline and providing vital support; thanks them and those working in the NHS for their tireless work, and wishes them the very best.
