 ‘It cannot be
over-emphasised that attending lectures and workshops, and reading
and talking about burn-out are no substitute for doing something
about it.
We need to become our own stress-management experts and
learn to set or reset priorities and consider a change of
lifestyle, building changes into our everyday routine. This can be
a long, complex and sometimes costly process. The consequences of
neglecting our occupational health, however, are
considerable.’ Roberts
(1997)
In the first module, Managing stress and avoiding burnout: Part 1
– Understanding stress and burnout, we defined stress
and burnout, giving an overview of current research on stress
within the medical profession.
In this module, we aim to provide a clear
action plan for dealing with the pressures of modern work life in
the NHS.
