This is a very fair point. Student radiographers don't get any reimbursement but will be on the frontline in fight against #COVID19ireland @DonnellyStephen @SimonHarrisTD
@rtenews@SimonHarrisTD Hi RTÉ Just want to highlight student #radiographers also coming in and taking to frontline to help as Rad Assts from Monday onwards. Also no reimbursement for them. Each suspect COVID case will have Radiography and Radiology interaction
@SimonHarrisTD What about other healthcare students on the frontline? Fourth year radiography students will be starting placement in the hospitals around the country on Monday #fairisfair
Labour Party health spokesperson, Alan Kelly TD, has called for student nurses who are working in hospitals during the COVID-19 health crisis to be paid for their work.
Great decision made to start paying student nurses! Does this extend to other healthcare students working on the frontline during this crisis? Final year Radiographers starting unpaid placement next week, having to separate from loved ones and quit part time jobs. @SimonHarrisTD
