Burnout in the NHS is more prevalent than ever.
Burnout is a state of physical and emotional exhaustion. It can occur when you experience long-term stress in your job, or when you have worked in a physically or emotionally draining role for a long time.
Although there is no one-size-fits-all approach to improving the wellbeing of your workforce, the evidence base on the most effective initiatives and approaches is constantly evolving and can provide a useful basis for reviewing your approach and making decisions.
The rising cost of living makes it more important than ever to prioritise and fulfil staff wellbeing needs. There is no one size fits all approach when it comes to supporting the wellbeing of your staff, and NHS organisations may be at different points of their health and wellbeing journey. We also appreciate there are often several barriers to fulfilling your staff needs, so this guidance highlights some ways to overcome them.
Look after your sleep: Feeling anxious or worried can make it harder to get a good night’s sleep. Good-quality sleep makes a big difference to how you feel mentally and physically, so it’s important to get enough.
