Don’t struggle alone
Studying and training to be a nurse or health professional is exciting but it can also be stressful and challenging at times.
You are often providing direct patient care but have essays to worry about whilst managing your clinical placements and supporting yourself through your studies.
That’s why it’s important not to struggle alone.
UNISON is the biggest trade union in the NHS and our branches and networks are always available to support you if you need help.
How we support you
We understand the financial difficulties facing students and the debt many have to take on and have always campaigned strongly for living bursaries and against the charging of tuition fees.
At UNISON we also have many exciting education and learning opportunities and roles for you to get involved in to help us campaign.
