England
What's happened so far?
Our members voted in record numbers to tell us that the government's NHS pay award of 3.6% is simply not enough.
What's happening now?
While we’ll continue to push for the pay award you deserve year on year, we recognise that no cost-of-living award will ever be enough to reform a broken pay structure that undervalues nursing.
We've been meeting with government ministers, seeking the investment the nursing workforce urgently needs. We’ve told them they have a short window to do so to avoid escalation into a formal dispute.
We've joined 13 other health unions to call on the Westminster government to urgently begin promised direct talks on NHS pay reform and future pay awards.
