Industrial action 6-7 and 9-10 February

Ahead of upcoming industrial action, we want to ensure that we continue to support both staff and patients and help mitigate any disruption by setting out key actions we think should be taken.

You will be aware of the series of industrial action days planned for the first week of February. On 6 February, Royal College of Nursing (RCN) members at 73 Trusts (including six ambulance Trusts), Unite members at four ambulance Trusts, and GMB members at eight NHS ambulance Trusts will take industrial action simultaneously.

In addition, GMB members will take industrial action in East Suffolk and North Essex NHS Foundation Trust, Mersey Care Foundation Trust, and NHS Blood and Transplant on 6 February, and at Liverpool Women’s Foundation Trust on 7 February.

On 7 February, RCN members will take further industrial action (at the same 73 Trusts as the previous day), and on 9 February, the Chartered Society of Physiotherapists will also take action at 32 Trusts. On 10 February UNISON members will take action impacting ambulance services.
