The UK government and nursing unions have reached a deal to end months of strikes over pay and working conditions in the National Health Service (NHS). Nurses will receive a 5% pay increase along with a one-time bonus, addressing inflation pressures.
Union leaders called it a “step forward,” though they stressed more reforms are needed to reduce staff shortages. Patients welcomed the resolution after thousands of medical appointments were delayed due to protests. The government said the agreement ensures stability in healthcare ahead of the winter season.
