Staff from the school say they explain the pressures the NHS is under to students, but emphasise the importance of having a nationally-funded heath service.
John Cookson, dean of medical education, said: “I think the idea of a nationally funded universal – universal is the important word – service for everybody, so no matter your background, you’re in the same bed alongside somebody else who’s from a completely different background but you’re having the same high level management of treatment that everybody else has.
“As soon as you go elsewhere, you discover, as our students do when they go on electives, they come back and say, ‘Thank god for the NHS’.”
