The National Nurses Association was a trades union for British nurses founded by Thora Silverthorne and Nancy Zinkin in 1937.[1]

It organised a campaign to highlight the poor pay and conditions of nurses with a protest march of 1000 nurses.[2] Silverthorne was attacked by the Royal College of Nursing for “not being a registered nurse” or “paid by Moscow”.[3] The Association later joined the National Union of Public Employees.
