Strikes Update: How nurses' strikes on Thursday will affect you

Dec 30,2022 11:31 am

By Zoe ConwayEmployment correspondent

Nurses in England are Walking Out for The Second day in a row on Thursday as part of a row over pay.

The Key advice is that if you are seriously injured or ill then call 999 as usual. If it's not urgent then call 111.

GP practices will also run as normal as nurses working in those services are not involved in The Strike action.

In total, around a quarter of hospitals and community services are affected by The Strikes at 55 Trusts in England.

All nurses in intensive and emergency care are expected to work, as life preserving care must be maintained.

Strike action from Teachers also continues in Scotland, and bus drivers in south and west London will walk out on Thursday.
