How do you handle the stress of working in such a fast-paced environment?

"Working in a pharmacy is fast-paced and can be stressful at times. Over the years, I've found a few strategies to help me multi-task and handle the stress of the job. Each day, I evaluate what tasks are routine, non-urgent, and time-sensitive so that I can map out my day. I try to be proactive and work ahead where possible, and while I work on one task at a time, I can alternate between them to keep things moving. I also make sure I take my meal breaks each day so that I can keep my energy level up and also decompress for a few minutes. During my days off, I engage in hobbies and activities that I enjoy to lower my stress levels and help me recharge."

Being a pharmacy technician at the NHS can be a very demanding job. Often, you're required to carry out various tasks and move back and forth between stations or duties throughout a shift. For example, you could assist with the prescription drop-off window, answer phones, interact with customers or patients, manage inventory, work the pick-up window, or even run the check-out. Provide the interviewer with strategies or techniques you use to handle the stress of the job and avoid complaining about your current company or coworkers in your answer.
