Pay Student Paramedics

We are Scotland's student paramedics, working on the frontline entirely unpaid often living below the poverty line. We deserve a bursary whilst studying.

🥳 WE GOT THE BURSARY🥳

Today the @scotgov have annouced that from Sept 21 there will be a bursary for student paramedics in Scotland, equal to that of nurses and midwives!

@NUSScotland @saastweet This Applies even if all you’ve requested is tuition fees you only have to apply for bursary if you haven’t applied for either.

We will be at Glasgow Green today giving an emotional, motivational and thought invoking speech by one of our very one.

[NUS Scotland @NUSScotland]

If you ever think a group of students, standing up for their rights & demanding what they deserve, doesn't make a difference - think again.

Inspirational & relentless campaigning by @ParamedicsPay = transformative results for current and future students!

@LloydAMelville @MonicaLennon7 @Liam4Orkney @Iain_C_Gray And we are so thankful for the SNP in finally implementing this bursary. However as Monica is pointing out and I’m sure you and @HumzaYousaf will agree this is well overdue considering we started our campaign a year ago this month!
