Abstract
Examines the issues of work‐related stress in the health‐care professions, focusing on junior medical and dental staff. Identifies the stressors, and reports on an interview survey conducted as part of a larger study funded by the NHS Management Executive to identify the levels of stress. Concludes that outsourcing to an independent counselling service could prove to be an effective stress management strategy.
