New nursing, midwifery and allied health profession students studying in England moved from National Health Service bursaries to the standard student support system. The intention of the reforms is to boost participation, secure the future supply of home-grown nurses to the NHS, and enable universities to create additional nurse training places.<\/p><p>The standard student support system means that a typical student nurse has 25% more money to live on while they are studying than under the bursary system (albeit in the form of a student loan rather than a grant).<\/p><p>The interim People Plan published on 3 June 2019 sets out some of the steps needed to ensure the NHS in England have the staff they need to deliver high quality care, including growing our nursing workforce by 40,000 in the next five years.<\/p><p>The most recent data available from UCAS covers the B7 group of courses (nursing and midwifery courses aggregated together) rather than nursing.
