Health unions have reached a new deal with the Government, with further strikes involving nurses, ambulance workers and other NHS staff paused as a result.
The breakthrough follows days of talks with the Government over the long-running dispute over pay.
This has led to a series of walkouts by nurses, ambulance crews, paramedics, hospital porters and other health workers in recent months – here’s everything you need to know.
What are the terms of the NHS offer?
Unison said the pay offer to NHS workers in England includes an additional one-off lump sum of 6 per cent for 2022-23 that rises in value up the pay bands, and a 5 percent pay rise on all pay points for 2023-24.

The one-off sum is worth £1,655 for staff at the bottom of band two (for example porters, cleaners and healthcare assistants), £2,009 for staff at the top of band five (nurses, midwives, physiotherapists), £2,162 at the top of band six (paramedics, health visitors, senior occupational therapists) and £3,789 for staff at the top of band nine.
This 6 per cent payment for this financial year consists of the 4 per cent already on the table, plus a one-off payment of 2 per cent the government has called an “NHS Backlog Bonus” worth at least £1,250 per person.
The 2023-24 offer is a significant increase from the 3.5 per cent on the table at the start of the strike action.
It does not include junior doctors, who staged a 72-hour strike this week and are yet to join talks over their own pay dispute.
