Following a conflict between nurses and hospital management in which 251 nurses handed in their resignations (reported in the last newsletters) radiologists at the National University Hospital of Iceland (Landspítali) have threatened to resign unless working conditions improve. Whereas half of the nurses who handed in their notices have withdrawn their resignation following last month’s pay deal, a third of the radiologists have now handed in theirs. Landspítali and the radiologists are in last minute talks to prevent a wave of resignations on 1 September.
