Nurses across Nottinghamshire are preparing to take part in an historic national strike. The Royal College of Nursing industrial action taking place on Thursday, December 15 and will impact four NHS trusts across the city and county.
These are Nottingham University Hospitals, NHS Nottingham and Nottinghamshire ICB, and the East Midlands Ambulance Service. However, not all trusts will be hit by the action over a pay dispute.
Sherwood Forest Hospitals (SFH), which runs King's Mill, Newark and Mansfield Community hospitals, will not be effected after nurses voted against strikes. This is also the case at Doncaster and Bassetlaw Teaching Hospitals, the trust behind Bassetlaw District General and Retford Hospital.
