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.

Having had this illness for over 20 years,I feel medications should be free, we never asked to be ill with this dreadful illness, and it's not right we have to pay for them where other illnesses like ms, epilepsy, diabetics etc have free drugs, kidney disease is a terminal illness eith no cure only treatment options in the form of medications, diaylis or possible transplant, we deal enough with the stress of the unknown let alone fight for something that should be free, also I'd like chronic kidney disease to be more known and have a benefit in place for the patients with this illness, and not one that's based on pip where we have to fit into a category of needed help, most patients like me dnt need help but due to diaylis and being tired and can't work but can't get help I want this changing to be fair for all, why should some get help and not others we are all suffering in are own way.

In the last five years, the number of students seeking help has risen 106% at Bristol University. This is double the average across the UK! Although steps have been made, this is not enough!!! Since 2016, 11 student have taken their own lives and yet Bristol students still have the longest wait time for mental health services across the nation. Surely we deserve better. After all, we are all paying for this, one way or another...

Multinational company ISS took over the contract at the Homerton to provide domestic, catering, portering and security services. They committed verbally at the time (01/10/15) to paying staff the London Living Wage as part of their bid to win the work. Staff who were working for the previous company transferred to ISS and at the time were paid the same as NHS staff. They also retained their previous terms and conditions which closely resembled those of NHS staff. Since this time, wages have fallen relative to the London Living Wage and to NHS staff. Both groups earn less than the London Living Wage of £10.75 per hour. ISS must honour its contract with Homerton Hospital and pay its staff the London Living Wage. The London Living Wage is based on what people need to live on. No-one should be below this level! Catering, portering, domestic and security staff are essential to the safe running of the hospital and should be treated properly and paid a fair rate. In addition, staff on ISS' standard contract don’t get even get proper sick pay or a higher rate for weekend working like their colleagues who transferred from the former company. Our demands: We believe these staff are essential to the functioning of our hospital and NHS, and that: · ISS must honour its contract with Homerton Hospital by paying a minimum of the London Living Wage (LLW) to all staff, increasing it every November in line with the increase in the LLW, and backdating increases to November 2017 when staff wages first fell behind the LLW · ISS should also implement the NHS pay rise which many outsourced staff have received this year, including ISS staff in Liverpool Royal Infirmary and Liverpool Broadgreen Hospitals · The LLW and NHS rates are the absolute minimum ISS should be paying its staff; shift enhancements and unsocial hours payments are on top of the basic hourly rate, not included in it · We understand that ISS has also agreed improved terms and conditions for staff at BEIS, including improved sick pay and annual leave. We call for staff on ISS contracts to have the same terms and conditions as staff on former Medirest contracts, including getting proper sick pay and annual leave entitlements · The best value for the Homerton Hospital, and the best conditions for staff, would be for the contract to be brought back in house

Malnutrition causes the NHS £1 billion per annum each year as prior to 2014, this disorder was not recognised by the DSM-5. This meant sufferers have learned to live on diets unsuitable for long term and as a result are nutritionally deficient which can cause an alarming amount of problems such as diabetes, lowered cognitive function, necrosis, and even death considering eating disorders have abundant fatalities each year, as every sixty two minutes, a person dies from an eating disorder.

Hanway Medical Practice is in danger of closure. The Hanway Medical Practice has been in the heart of Buckland's community for over 50 years and serves a patient list of 14,000 people, mainly relying on its current location for a wide variety of treatments and support. We want the practice owners and the Portsmouth CCG to show they have listened to and considered every proposal to keep the doors of a much-loved, much-needed medical practice OPEN! Please help us, sign this petition and let’s show our support for keeping the Hanway Medical Practice open.

Thousands of people are effected by the landfill on a daily basis. The effects range from minor to major, starting with mild issues of congestion, working up to health issues, and everything in between. Local residents are concerned for the health of their children, stopping them from playing in their own gardens and even local parks. In addition, home owners are suffering with the market value of their properties due to the eyesore and awful smells. The smell from the Quarry has been so bad in the past, a local school was evacuated due to reports of 'gas' like smell in the surrounding area. What has to happen before the appropriate action is taken, if all of the above is not good enough? We need your help, and we need it now.

Knighthoods should be an honour given to people who do outstanding work in their field or for the greater good. What Sir Richard Branson did to the NHS by suing them and taking £2,000,000 from needed patient care, and ordinary peoples operations. Clearly shows that he cares nothing about what damage to other peoples lives his actions inflict and therefore does not deserve the accolade that his Knighthood confirms.

There has been a very recent exceptional landmark verdict of a U.S. Court awarding punitive damages against the manufacturer of $8 Billion. The jury resoundingly decided to instruct the manufacturer that they had not adequately outlined the risks of the serious side effects that the drug had been shown to produce from their own research studies. The particular adverse reaction they highlighted was gynaecomastia which is the production of breasts in young males which can eventually produce milk due to excessive production of the hormone prolactin. This is a life changing condition which ultimately requires a traumatic surgical intervention.

Migraine is a common health condition affecting 1 every 5 women and 1 every 15 men according to NHS. Based on my own experience and according to the Migraine Trust, Migraine is more than just a headache. As a migraine sufferer myself it really affects my personal and working life. As a mother of two young boys I have to cope with the amount of pain and discomfort in each migraine attack that I have to face regularly. Since migraine is a debilitating condition , it severely affects sufferers ability to work while having migraine attack which can be regular and long lasting.

Some GPs are turning away patients who can’t produce ID or proof of address. It means vulnerable people can’t see the doctor when they need to. This is against the rules. The NHS is clear - you don’t need to produce ID to see a doctor. But the rules aren’t being enforced. We need Health Secretary Matt Hancock to make sure they are. And together, hundreds of thousands of us can convince him. There are many reasons you might not have ID on you. You might be homeless, or fleeing an abusive partner, you might have moved here recently and not have a permanent address yet. It doesn’t matter - turning people away from seeing the doctor is wrong. Not only that - it could end up costing our NHS more down the track when people get sicker and show up at A&E. Please sign the petition today. Together we can convince Matt Hancock to crack down on GPs who are turning people away.
