I'm so sorry it took me so long to sort this, life happened. Anyways, the max feed of 7 days is now operational.

I will investigate, I didn't set it up with a time limit so it looks like the feed might need tweaking *looks under the bonnet and makes thoughtful noises*

Yes we do. But fewer and fewer students are applying to do nursing because of the horror of working in the NHS and the chronic underfunding. We can't blame Cardiff for proposing to close a course they are unable to recruit to. Bring back the bursary!

The shock at Cardiff proposing to close Nursing at their Uni simply demonstrates how unaware the sector is of the sharp decline in nursing applications year on year. Yes we need nurses, but prospective students are not applying for nursing degrees... I wonder why that might be...

Stonehenge stone circle.

Today's landscape: apt for the winter solstice: Stonehenge. May the days grow longer and the nights shorter as we welcome back the sun.

I agree with that. Key is understanding what we are assessing and why we are choosing that method of assessment. Not just choosing an exam because you can't use AI in it.
