Welcome

UK GP receptionists, care navigators, call handlers and frontline admin staff regularly work under high pressure in access, communication and administrative roles within general practice.

Reception teams handle heavy workloads, frequent emotional contact, complaints, urgent risk and constant interruption. Resilience here means spotting stress early, using available support and addressing organisational factors that create unsafe strain.

Core focus

• Recognising stress, burnout and emotional load in reception work.
• Understanding workload, control, support, role clarity and change.
• Using practical resets, boundaries, debrief and support routes.
• Raising system pressures before they harm staff or patients.
