Nursing staff from more than 55 trusts will take part in the industrial action on Wednesday and Thursday, as a poll finds nearly three in five people believe the government is to more to blame for the ongoing pay row.
Thousands of nurses will go on strike today as a bitter pay dispute with the government continues.
The RCN has agreed to staff chemotherapy, emergency cancer services, dialysis, critical care units, neonatal and paediatric intensive care. Health and Social Care Secretary Steve Barclay said while he recognises the cost of living pressures on NHS staff,"unaffordable pay rises" will stoke inflation. Mr Taylor also said continued strike action and winter pressures are jeopardising the ability of the NHS to break out of a"vicious cycle".
The Ipsos poll of 1,080 British adults, carried out earlier this month, also found that a quarter of people felt both sides are at fault.Matt Tacey, a 32-year-old nurse who lives in the East Midlands, has said he doesn't want to go strike today - but he, as well as fellow colleagues, have been"forced" into the position because"the government just won't enter any meaningful negotiations with us as a union".
