As she is not receiving an NHS Bursary might she be eligible for DSA through
her LEA? The DfES exclusion seems to relate to students in receipt of NHS
Bursaries, not to students on nursing courses.
I would be interested to know as this could also solve the problem for
nursing students who are sponsored by employers.

Subject: Nurses doing 2 year conversion courses
Colleagues
A nurse doing a conversion course (2 years, self-funded) has recently been
assessed and has Specific Learning Difficulties.
Any ideas on what DSA- type funding she might access? I assume she won't be
eligible for an NHS DSA, or am I wrong?
