Nurses threaten industrial action over 3.6% pay rise

August 01, 2025

THE Royal College of Nursing (RCN) has warned its members will be balloted on industrial action if the Government fails to reach an agreement on investment in the profession.

It comes after members rejected a 3.6% pay increase for 2025/26 in England. Professor Nicola Ranger, general secretary and chief executive of the RCN, said nurses feel “deeply undervalued”.

The Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC) said the Government “hugely” values the work of nurses, but stressed the profession has had “two above-inflation pay rises”.

The RCN represents hundreds of thousands of nurses across the NHS in England. According to the union, 91% of members voted to reject the pay award on a 56% turnout, with more than 170,000 staff taking part.
