GMB Union has begun balloting tens of thousands of NHS and ambulance workers in England on this year’s pay award.
The Department for Health and Social Care announced today [Thursday] NHS staff will receive a 3.6 per cent pay rise for 25/26.
The ballot opens today and closes on 17 July.
Rachel Harrison, GMB National Secretary, said:
“GMB has been notified of the 2025/26 pay award for NHS workers.
“We’re pleased dedicated NHS staff will get their pay rise closer to their anniversary date than they have in previous years.
“The decision on whether this pay award is acceptable is for GMB members to decide.”
