Winning change for the nursing profession

Our campaigning work has resulted in real change to the lives of nursing staff across the UK and their patients. We couldn't do it all without the thousands of members who've added their voice. Together, we make change happen.

Leading historic strike action

In 2022-23, for the first time in our history, we led our members on strike after they told us enough was enough, fresh out of the most testing time for nursing staff since the 1918 Spanish Flu pandemic. We remain in dispute with the UK government over nursing pay in all health and social care settings and continue to fight for fair pay.

Scrapping the immigration health surcharge

Thanks to our campaigning, the UK government scrapped this highly unjust fee for health care workers in 2020. It saw all migrants who came to the UK from non-EEA countries pay £400 a year for the NHS, whether they used it or not. This was set to rise to £624 a year. Our NHS was built on immigration. We stood up for our members and fought for equity.
