General view of the Cardiff University Brain Research Imaging Centre, in Cardiff, Wales
THE Royal College of Nursing (RCN) has urged Cardiff University to abandon plans to cut its top-ranked nursing degree, warning of serious consequences for healthcare in Wales.
The union has formally responded to the university’s internal consultation on the proposed closure of its School of Nursing, expressing deep concern over the impact.
A petition for the Senedd to enable the university to keep its nursing courses has gathered more than 7,300 signatures from people in every constituency in Wales.
