Managing stress
Nursing staff are brilliant at coping and don’t find it easy to admit that they are experiencing stress.
But there are limits to the pressures that we can all endure and employers have a legal duty to risk assess the causes of work-related ill health, including work-related stress, and put measures in place to reduce the risks.
We have created resources for you, as an individual, to manage your own stress and access support along with information for managers and RCN reps who will be working, at an organisational level, to create safe and healthy workplaces.
We want to grow and develop this resource and would welcome feedback. Email your comments and suggestions to HSWTeam@rcn.org.uk.
Stress LibGuide
Our LibGuide covers various elements of work related stress including self care, managers and employers role, and reps role. Some resources may only be available to RCN members and RCN programme participants.
