SEP — Sindicato dos Enfermeiros Portugueses (Portuguese Nurses' Union)

The largest nurses' union in Portugal. It calls nurses' strikes in SNS hospitals and health centres and negotiates pay and careers with the Ministry of Health.

Where you come across it. News about strikes in the SNS.
On its strike days hospitals provide only minimum services, so planned operations and procedures may be postponed.
