Student Nurses Join NHS Frontline in Fighting Coronavirus
The motion
That the Parliament commends Amanda Beckett from Motherwell, and Karen Stirling from Law, who are two of 1,200 University of the West of Scotland (UWS) student nurses joining the fight against COVID-19; acknowledges that both women are joining the NHS, which is doing an immeasurable amount of work to provide care to those that need it; notes that UWS is Scotland’s largest provider of nursing and midwifery education in Scotland, with all four of its Scottish campuses equipped with state-of-the-art clinical skills simulation facilities, replicating hospital, primary care and domestic environments, and congratulates the university's students, who will soon start their placements with the NHS and other providers of care at what is an extremely critical time for the country.
