In their most recent surveys, 44% of NHS staff reported feeling unwell due to work-related stress. The organisation has many tools and resources to help staff manage stress. But given the high pressure and workload, the NHS needs to ensure that any new staff member can manage work stress healthily and productively.

"Managing work stress starts with coming to work every day well-rested with a positive attitude and mindset, and I've found that makes an impact on my mood and stress during my shift. I know my limits, and if I'm so overwhelmed that I may make a mistake, I ask my manager for extra support or take a break and regroup. When things get hectic, communication is key, and being willing and ready to help others goes a long way. I'm always willing and ready to help my team. I won't shy away from seeking assistance as an NHS team leader if I need to."

Perhaps you take regular breaks, do some deep breathing exercises, or ask for help from peers when you're behind and the work gets stressful. No matter your method, you'll want to demonstrate that you understand the importance of the topic and share how you mentally prepare for your workday and handle all of the twists and turns that get thrown your way each day.
