Nurses will walk out in an ongoing row over pay starting on Sunday and finishing on Bank Holiday Monday. Today’s Mishal Husain spoke to the General Secretary of the Royal College of Nursing and asked her about the decision to include A&E shifts in the strike.

Mishal also spoke to Nick Hulme, Chief Executive of Colchester and Ipswich hospitals, to ask him how the strike is going to affect his hospitals.

And with two of the biggest health unions now having voted to accept the government’s pay offer, BBC Health Editor Hugh Pym looks at the prospect of whether this could avert more nursing strikes.
