NHS Bursary and tuition fees
I’m going to be doing a healthcare course which means I will be getting the NHS bursary. Does this mean I have to apply to student finance or will my tuition fee costs be covered? I’m not interested in any maintenance loans

You will be eligible for the NHS Learning Support Fund, not the NHS Bursary (the bursary is for med and dent students). The NHS LSF gives you an annual training grant of £5k plus a special subject payment of £1k. It does not cover tuition fees so you will need to apply to student finance for a tuition fee loan.

Hi there, After checking the course information, you will be eligible for tuition fees (TFL) of up to £9535, the means tested loan, and also be eligible able to apply for Disabled Students Allowance and Grants for Dependents if required. Thanks, Stephen.
