Strike action by nurses are paused after the Welsh government offers to restart talks.
was accepted by the majority of other health unions in May, but RCN members rejected the latest pay offer and undertook strike action earlier this month.
The RCN said at the time that it was still entitled to take industrial action as the deal was "forced" on its members. The deal consists of a 5% wage increase and a one-off payment for 2022-23 worth between £900 and £1,190. Unions have argued that other things could be done too, such as reducing the working week or flexibility at work, which could be the equivalent of a pay rise to nurses.
"We are hopeful that the discussions with Welsh government will result in significant positive outcomes for NHS nursing staff in Wales that will improve their terms and conditions of employment in addition to the pay award that has been implemented," said RCN Wales director Helen Whyley.
