flag UK expands job support program to nine English regions, linking healthcare and employment services for people with long-term conditions.

flag The UK is expanding its Connect to Work programme to nine new regions in England, embedding job advisers in GP surgeries and mental health services to support people with long-term health conditions or disabilities in returning to work. flag Part of a £1 billion, five-year plan, the initiative aims to help 300,000 people by 2030 through personalized support like virtual reality job interviews, childcare access, and confidence-building. flag The programme is voluntary and focuses on integrating employment assistance with healthcare, with funding targeting areas including the North East, Cumbria, and Oxfordshire. flag Officials say it strengthens both individual recovery and the economy, though some advocates urge caution to ensure support is accessible and not pressuring.
