Pharmacy practice can be profoundly satisfying, but it can also be extremely stressful. This may be more so in an environment of change, when there are often concerns that events are outside of your control. Feeling stressed at work can be a reasonably common experience and you probably know other pharmacists or pharmacy staff who experience stress too. This might occur only in the short term (for example, unrealistic patient expectations), or it may up build over a longer period of time. In the current environment, with pharmacists and pharmacy support staff facing increasing environmental work stress, there is a need for guidance. This document provides practical advice, and is intended as a tool for pharmacy to identify the varied factors that can lead to workplace stress and to offer some solutions to put into place. It also provides a guide to organisations and resources for further information and assistance where appropriate. This document should not be regarded as a complete solution or 'quick fix' to workplace pressure troubles. Best practice takes time to implement.
