RCN (Nurses) did not accept the deal, it's being enforced anyway because some of the other large unions voted to accept (the ones that cover things like healthcare assistants, paramedics, other hospital staff etc). They're "bigger" because the cover more staff. RCN is by far the largest nursing-specific union, and has not accepted a deal (but will get this one anyway, because of how NHS pay works).

Basically it means that RCN members will get what's on the table now but have NOT agreed that they won't carry out further strikes throughout 2023 and into 2024.
