    I feel that a free or discounted 24 hour student bus that runs from the Kedleston Rd campus via the halls, Derby city centre to Royal Derby Hospital and then returning the same way in reverse, would be a great benefit as students are struggling to travel to placements due to limited parking and long hours. This would elevate a lot of stress and anxiety for health students and nursing students. This would also benefit the environment as students would prefer this to driving individual cars.
