## Abstract

Reports of work-related stress among healthcare workers in all disciplines have increased sharply in recent years, and radiology is no exception. Rising demand, relentless pressures and reduced time for meaningful human contact are all contributing. Against this backdrop, it is more important than ever that we recognise the characteristics of a happy radiology department and then consider strategies which we can deploy as individuals to keep us happy and healthy at work.

The article discusses the importance of a healthy radiology department culture and describes the strategies which an individual radiologist can employ to maximise their own wellbeing in the face of relentless, increasing workload pressure.
