NHS bursary 2 lots of repeat funding

Hi, I am currently on 3 year nursing degree. I repeated year 1 in 2022 due to Covid episodes and missing placement and I lost my dad that same year.nhs nursery was awarded as a repeat.

I should have finished my course in December 24 so I have had 4 years NHS bursary.

However due to episodes of ill health and a surgery I needed, I now owe 800 practice hours and have a deferred module, taking me best part of this year.

Will I get repeat funding again from NHS lsf?
That would be 5 years?

What would make it exceptional circumstances for them to grant me another year? I’m a single parent and I’m worried about finances

Contact the NHS LSF to ask. They might need evidence of your health issues from an offical source (doctor/consultant letter, etc.), but they will advise you what is required:
