answer text <p>Employers across the National Health Service are responsible for the health and wellbeing of all their staff. They will provide access to a range of services and support to staff including doctors who feel they are experiencing stress.</p><p> </p><p>The Department continues to commission NHS Employers to provide advice, guidance and good practice to the NHS on improving staff physical and mental health and wellbeing. This includes an emotional wellbeing toolkit enabling staff to check their own emotional wellbeing and encourage discussion with colleagues. NHS Employers is also working with NHS England who are investing £5 million in a new NHS staff physical and mental health and wellbeing initiative, with the support of Public Health England.</p><p> </p><p>There are particular additional issues for junior doctors relating to the need for them to move between different hospitals in the course of their training. Health Education England, which is responsible for doctor training arrangements has a programme of work to address these issues. This includes looking at reducing the number of training rotations to help balance doctors’ work and other responsibilities such as family and caring commitments, giving doctors ten weeks’ notice of new placements and reviewing the process for the annual review of competence progression to reduce unnecessary bureaucracy.</p>

answer text <p>The Department does not collect the number or proportion of clinical staff who have suffered from work related stress. However, the annual NHS Staff Survey[1] records the proportion of staff responding to the Survey who reported having felt unwell as a result of work related stress during the previous 12 months. This proportion for clinical staff in each of the last five years is as follows:</p><p> </p><table><tbody><tr><td><p>2011</p></td><td><p>2012</p></td><td><p>2013</p></td><td><p>2014</p></td><td><p>2015</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>31%</p></td><td><p>39%</p></td><td><p>39%</p></td><td><p>38%</p></td><td><p>37%</p></td></tr></tbody></table><p> </p><p> </p><p>[1]<a href="http://www.nhsstaffsurveys.com" target="_blank">www.nhsstaffsurveys.com</a></p> more like this
