London, UK. 9th January nurses kiss as NHS student nurses, midwives and supporters take part in a protest march from St Thomas’ Hospital to Downing street to oppose the scrapping of nursing bursaries. In the 2015 Autumn Statement, Chancellor George Osborne, announced that NHS bursaries, which are paid to student nurses to cover living costs while they are studying and carrying out hospital work experience, will be abolished and instead converted into student loans that will have to be repaid.
