Shownotes

Stress shows up everywhere in care - in decision‑making, in sleep, in medication errors, and in the wellbeing of the people you lead. In this episode of Momentum Matters, we bring together three perspectives from across health and social care: a GP, a nurse, and a pharmacist.

Pharmacist TeeJay, Dr. Milan Mehta and Complex Nurse Hollie unpack what stress actually does to the body, why it’s becoming harder for care teams to switch off, and how constant pressure affects performance and safety in services.

You’ll hear grounded, practical ideas that fit real care environments, including:

• early signs of stress you can spot in yourself and others

• simple changes that support better sleep and clearer thinking

• the impact of stress on medication safety

• how to create small recovery moments in busy shifts

• ways to strengthen the vagus nerve and settle the stress response

• everyday habits that support resilience in you and your team

A supportive, insightful conversation for any care manager wanting to lead well, protect their teams, and navigate the growing pressures in care.
