worry

So much time is spent worrying about if you've done everything correctly and in line with the SSSC, Care Inspectorate and in line with all policies, to everyone's satisfaction. You spend your day trying to please management and staff when really the only people that I really care about are the ones I support. My hopes are that I can make a difference to the unit and still enjoy every minute of my job.

So much time is spent worrying about if you’ve done everything correctly

On return to office 2 more cases allocated to me and I'm playing catch up this week due to the snow last week when I had to cancel a day of visits and was unable to get hold of many people. Case load pressures are a constant feature of my work. Only a year or 2 ago there was an understanding in our team that we would only get 2 new cases in a week occasionally, whereas now it is the norm. Additional 2hr worrying time at night - I know I need to try and manage this unhelpful habit.
