"Robust plans" are in place ahead of the first strike by NHS staff over pay in more than 30 years, England's chief nursing officer has said.
Jane Cummings said patient safety was a priority, but urged staff to "think carefully" about taking part on Monday.
Nurses, midwives and ambulance staff are among workers from six unions in England and Northern Ireland set to walk out from 07:00 BST until 11:00.
Unison said it would send a "clear message" to the government on pay.
The action is mainly taking place in England but members of the GMB and Unite unions in Northern Ireland are involved.
Unions want a 1% pay rise to be implemented for all staff but the NHS has said this will cost too much.
