It's not easy working in the NHS or the public sector - I know because I've done both.

 

Employees are often working very hard for low financial rewards, and are likely to have unwelcome changes imposed upon them due to government directives.

 

This can increase stress levels and reduce morale to the point where people become physically, mentally or emotionally overwhelmed and lose their sense of health and wellbeing.

 

Traditionally little therapeutic help has been offered via the workplace, and private treatment has often been unaffordable on public sector pay.
