Nurse Strike Set to Hit UK Hospitals from 8pm Tonight
RCN Members to Walk Out Over Pay
The Royal College of Nursing (RCN) will kick off a strike at 8pm tonight, lasting until the end of Monday. The government has slammed the action, warning it “risks patient safety.” NHS England has urged patients to brace for “disruptions and delays” during the walkout.
Life-Saving Services to Stay Running
Despite the chaos, national agreements mean vital life-and-limb care — including intensive care, neonatal, paediatric, major trauma, and resuscitation units — will keep running.
Essential Cover to Be Maintained
A small number of RCN members will be called in to cover these critical services, meeting trade union rules to keep the most urgent care staffed.
