A further strike by ambulance staff in Wales, due to take place on Friday, has been called off.
Members of the Unite union, who make up about a quarter of the workforce, were due to walk out in a dispute over pay and conditions.
The union wrote on Twitter that it was “pausing” the action after “progress” had been made in talks with officials.
The GMB and Unite had already called off Monday’s strike day after “significant” talks.
It follows strikes in February involving more than half of Wales’ ambulance workers.
The Welsh government is continuing talks with three health unions – Unite and the GMB, which represent ambulance staff, along with the Royal College of Nursing in Wales.
The three unions had threatened further industrial action after rejecting the government’s latest offer last week.
Other health unions have accepted the deal of additional 1.5% pay rise, as well as 1.5% one-off payment to NHS staff on top of the £1,400 pay rise offered last summer.
The latest offer included some proposals to improve working conditions.
