London, UK. 6th April, 2016. Sisters Uncut support the 'Bursaries or Bust' campaign by student nurses against the axing of NHS Student Bursaries before the 'die-in' in front of the Ministry of Health. NHS students need bursaries as their long hours of study and placements prevent them taking part-time jobs while studying; they deserve them because their placements involve real work in hospitals and are a vital source of labour for the NHS.

Cutting bursaries will stop many more mature entrants and those from less affluent from training to become nurses and midwives. Peter Marshall/Alamy Live News
