Save Cardiff University School of Nursing - Sign the Petition
Cardiff University have announced that the School of Nursing is set to close with cuts to staffing because of a funding shortfall.
We condemn this action and urge the university to find another solution that does not involve closing the School of Nursing.
This awful decision will have a direct impact on the number of nurses available to work in health boards across the country . At a time where there is a significant number of nursing vacancies within the NHS this action will undermine an already depleted workforce.
With well over a 1,000 students within the department, Cardiff University School of Nursing contributes a very important number of nurses which are employed within the NHS each year.
The school of nursing is ranked 1st in Wales and is an centre of excellence. It is a dynamic, innovative and forward looking school. They are recognised for their excellence in learning, teaching and research. They pride themselves on pursuing research of the highest quality, and are one of the leading healthcare departments in the UK.
As well as this, the staff work incredibly hard, have invaluable diverse expertise and put their hearts and souls into making the school a vibrant and welcoming place. The nursing department is full of warm, intelligent, passionate people with a wealth of knowledge, who are at danger of losing their livelihoods. We stand in solidarity with the university staff affected by this decision.
Please sign this petition in the hope that Cardiff University reconsider its decision to close the School of Nursing.
