Your insight could help the NHS in the North East and North Cumbria develop a service called WorkWell to support people to stay well and keep working.

It aims to tackle those times when health problems – like stress, back pain or long-term conditions – get in the way of someone staying in or returning to work.

In some parts of the North East and North Cumbria, as many as one in three people are out of work due to poor health and WorkWell aims to help 2,000 people across the region in its first year.

This new service will help people with health problems to:

  • stay in work, or
  • get back to work.

NHS North East and North Cumbria Integrated Care Board wants to hear your views. Tell them what you think to help shape the service. Please fill in their WorkWell survey or visit the website to find out more about WorkWell.

The survey is open until 3rd November. If you need help to fill it in, contact nencicb.involve@nhs.net
