    AbstractMedicine and surgery can be demanding professions with high levels of burnout, but few healthcare professionals are given training or education in the management of stress, and the ability of individuals to cope with work and other pressures is often taken for granted. Emotional resilience - the ability to recover from a stressful event, whether at work or at home - is influenced by factors that are both within and outside our control. In this review, we provide an overview of emotional resilience for surgeons and other healthcare professionals, and focus on the factors that can be modulated to help us cope with difficult or complex situations. We also discuss the importance of teamwork and camaraderie, which can easily be forgotten in busy working practice. A greater awareness and understanding of emotional resilience and ways to cope with stress and pressure at work are essential if we are to look after ourselves better, improve the work of our teams, and provide the best care for our patients.Copyright © 2018 The British Association of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons.
