The National Nurses Association (also known as the Association of Nurses) was a trades union for British nurses founded by Thora Silverthorne and Nancy Zinkin in 1937.[1][2]
It organised a campaign to highlight the poor pay and conditions of nurses with a protest march of 1000 nurses.[3] Silverthorne was attacked by the Royal College of Nursing for “not being a registered nurse” or being “paid by Moscow”.[4] The Association later joined the National Union of Public Employees.
