Understanding Emotions: Dealing With Uncertainty as a Health and Care Professional
Description
Uncertainty is a common feeling that many health and care professionals experience. However, when the feeling of uncertainty is overwhelming, it can impact your mental health and confidence inside and out of the workplace.
In this episode of Understanding Emotions, Practitioner Health Medical Director Dr Zaid Al-Najjar and therapist Ruth Deighton discuss the ins and outs of experiencing uncertainty in the healthcare workplace, and ways that health and care professionals can deal with this tricky emotion.
If you have found that you are worrying and experiencing anxiety more frequently, you may need support. If you are unable to access confidential treatment from local services in England or Scotland, Practitioner Health is here to support you.
