NHS staff will no longer walk out for 12 hours on Thursday after several meetings with Health Secretary Jeremy Hunt to resolve disputes over pay.
Health workers were due to strike from 9am to 9pm.
In addition to the planned strike this week, Unison was also planning a four-week work to rule, followed by a 24-hour strike on Wednesday, February 25.
The Royal College of Midwives and GMB have also confirmed they will suspend strike action planned for this Thursday.
