We ve been the sacrificial lambs : Student nurses say they re at risk on placements

Student nurses currently working on placements in hospitals have said they have felt vulnerable and left out in the cold, despite their efforts against the coronavirus pandemic, telling The Tab they feel like “sacrificial lambs”. As well poor conditions during their placements, they’re angry at the lack of protections afforded to them. In September their placements stopped being paid and as a result of being unpaid staff, will not automatically receive a £60,000 payment if they die from Covid, and are only considered on a case by case basis under the NHS and Social Care Coronavirus Life Assurance Scheme Only recently has the Nursing and Midwifery Council announced it would bring back some emergency standards, such as giving local governments the ability to pay final year students on placement, and giving first year students the option to move to completely to academic or online learning.
