Give current 3rd year students the NHS nursing grant
Offer the bursary to third year nursing students
Why is this important?
This is the only student nursing cohort not to receive any form of a bursary in England The cohort before them were the last to receive a bursary. Some of these students deferred starting their training for many reasons before the end of the bursary was announced. The cohort immediately after them will benefit from the new grant. This is very unfair for this cohort and many have suffered huge financial hardship for the career they love, a career that will protect us all in our hour of need. Let's help them in theirs.
