@SF_England do you have any information in regards to wether the grant from the government in relation to nursing students will be deducted from the amount of finance we get from you?
@LidlGB I have today witnessed a disgusting act of racism in plymouth union street store. Very aggressive man being abusive to a person of colour. Staff handled it poorly. Security “told off” the victim!! Please educate your staff this was awful.
@SF_England hi is there any update on the extra finance for extending? My course finished 1st aug and I was on placement for all of aug. My details were sent over by uni on 9th aug
Came to twitter to get info on vaccinations for 12-15 year olds, as only follow health care professionals…. Now I’m terrified my just turned 12 son is going to be manipulated into having vaccine at school, he is such a chilled kid he would just say yes.
@SF_England@NHSBSA_LSF Yes my uni have sent over my details confirming to sfe additional funding needed for august, but conflicting information coming from uni who have said the final maintenance payments covers up till 31st aug, even though course ends 1st aug. But they have sent my details…
@SF_England@NHSBSA_LSF 1st aug. Previously told their would be funding to support extending but uni have said today funding will not be granted to those extending through the summer as maintenance loan and grants paid cover period up to 31st aug.
@SF_England@NHSBSA_LSF I am a final year nursing student, completing placement hours over the summer due to covid effecting placements and owing hours. Academic work is all complete. Been told normal payments go up to 31st aug so any additional payments only start from 1st sept.
@DHSCgovuk is there an update on additional funding for nursing students who are having to extend degree to make up hours due to covid? @NHSBSA_LSF state they are awaiting info from you before being able to confirm if this will be available
@SF_England Is there a flat rate of how much the additional finance will be? Or is it calculated on an individual basis? I’m aware it’s only awarded up to 31/08 but wonder how much it will be
@NHSBSA_LSF as an extending student, can you give me any indication as to how long it may take to hear about the pro rata funding? Uni have sent details off
@SF_England please can you advise, as a 3rd year nursing student due to covid effects on placements having to extend. Am I eligible to apply for extra financial support whilst completing my degree?
@SF_England We haven’t had any I for@action on this from the uni, is that what is needed? So I don’t apply for finance the usual route? Im@not repeating just extending for max 2 months. I’m aware of support via lsf but don’t know if eligible also for further maintenance?
