Thousands of NHS workers are taking part in the biggest walkout in the organisation’s history today. Amongst the many workers striking are nurses at 73 NHS trusts in England.

Members of the Royal College of Nursing (RCN) will strike today and tomorrow (February 6 and 7). The walk out is part of the ongoing dispute for better working conditions and pay within the NHS.
