ALMOST two in three NHS workers have considered looking for other jobs in the past six months, new research suggests.

The GMB conducted the survey ahead of its submission this week to the NHS Pay Review Body (PRB), which reviews evidence from stakeholders before making a recommendation for NHS pay rises.
