NHS Essex and its partners are developing a new service to help people overcome barriers to finding or staying in work due to ill health or disability.​

They are looking to hear from people who are in or out of work and finding it difficult to find or return to work because of a physical or mental health condition, disability or period of ill health.​

The quick survey has 10 questions and the findings will be used to shape future health and work support across Essex.​
