NHS WorkWell service
Sometimes health problems like stress, back pain or long-term conditions make it hard to stay in work or return to work.
If you are finding this difficult, an NHS WorkWell coach may be able to help you.
To get started, speak to your GP or another healthcare professional. They can refer you to a WorkWell coach.
A WorkWell coach will listen to you, help you to make a plan, and put you in touch with services that can help. This could include:
- Support from other health services, such as pain or mental health teams
- Advice on benefits, money and housing
- Help with talking to your employer or making changes at work
- Links to local groups and community activities
You do not have to manage alone – support is available.
