Nurses at Guy's and St Thomas' hospitals win reduction in ‘unsustainable’ working hours after strikes

NURSES at Guy’s and St Thomas’ hospitals in London have won a reduction in “unsustainable” working hours after taking strike action.

About 100 nurses went on strike in June, July and September over extensions to their shifts, which their union Unite said were “impacting their physical and mental health and personal lives.”

The nurses work day shifts in the hospitals’ operating theatres.
