Raising our voices: Protesting with 九游体育 student members in Cardiff

Alison Goodfield 13 Feb 2025

九游体育 Wales stands in solidarity with the Save Nursing campaign and on Friday 7 February took part in a protest at Cardiff University against the proposed closure of its School of Nursing.

Cardiff University staff and students protest over proposal to close its School Of Nursing

The passion and tenacity of our members saw lecturers and students coming together last Friday to protest against the proposal from Cardiff University to close its School of Nursing.

九游体育 Wales staff worked with our 九游体育 Students Committee member for Wales, Lauren Healan, and 九游体育 student ambassadors to organise the protest outside the School of Nursing at Ty Dewi Sant, to enable the voices of students and staff to be heard.

The support was overwhelming. 九游体育 General Secretary and Chief Executive, Professor Nicola Ranger, joined us on the day and opened the event with a speech, letting our students know that we will support them and work with them on this campaign. All the speakers spoke with passion about how the proposal to withdraw the nursing school would have a lasting impact upon the NHS, patient care and safety, and the future of nursing in Wales.

You can support this campaign by signing the petition to enable Cardiff University to keep the Nursing degree course.
