Economic inactivity in the North East and North Cumbria is a significant and growing challenge, and in some of the local authority areas in our region applies to one in three working age adults. It is estimated that there are around 250 000 people in the North East and North Cumbria who are in work with health conditions.
The North East and North Cumbria is developing an exemplar approach to improving the health of our population and the productivity of our region. This Local Enhanced Service will support identification and referral of the cohort of the population who will benefit most from interventions to ensure they can remain in work with health conditions.
CDRC have developed the reports to retrospectively identify patient cohorts who meet the required criteria for the WorkWell Local Enhanced Service (LES).

Guidance on the WorkWell LES Population Reporting Searches
There will be a number of reports imported into your EMIS system that are supplementary to the reports required for the WorkWell LES.
To view the WorkWell LES focused Population Reporting Searches navigate to the WorkWell LES (1st December 2025) report folder, then open the Focused Reports folder
You will see that there are 3 reports in this folder; these reports were developed to provide insight into Fit Note data at your practice.
The highlighted report – 1. Fit Note L6M >=2 AND L3M (not 2 a year for the L2Y) w/o standard reason – will identify the patient cohort who are eligible for the WorkWell LES (as highlighted in the WorkWell LES document).
To run this report, right-click on the highlighted report and click ‘Run’. Once the report has been successfully ran, you will be able to view the Patient List by right-clicking on the Patient List and clicking ‘View Results’.
Please refer to the WorkWell LES document once you have identified which patients are eligible for referral to the Work Coach.
