Combined walkouts in early February could lead to the biggest walkouts the NHS has ever experienced. Thousands of nurses and ambulance workers are due to stage walkouts on February 6 if no deal has been reached by then. And as nurses take strike action on February 7, they will be joined by midwives in Wales.
Paramedics who have been working for two years can rise to become experienced paramedics. They are in Band 6 of the NHS pay scale and earn £33,706 a year, rising to £35,572 after two to five years and £40,588 after five years. They can also get additional pay through working overtime and unsociable hours.
