Student nurses on Covid-19 frontline 'abandoned' by NHS after placements cut short - LBC News
Student nurses took to Facebook and Twitter to express outrage at a decision from NHS England to finish their paid placements at the end of July instead of running until the end of September.
In mid-April, NHS England reported that nearly 15,000 student nurses, midwives and medical students had joined "frontline NHS teams as part of the nationwide coronavirus fightback".
One nurse calling herself Becky Jane said nurses had been told by Health Education England, the body that oversees training, that the NHS can no longer afford to keep the paid placements going until the end of September as originally promised.
