FAMILY doctors, employers and health officials met over breakfast this week to discuss ways to tackle ill health at work in east Durham.
They looked at the way ill health affects people in their jobs and the problems facing employers and GPs.
The meeting follows a successful regional conference last year that set up the Employment and Health Group, including organisations such as EEF Northern, Easington and Sedgefield Primary Care Trusts, East Durham and Sedgefield Borough Business Services and the North East Chamber of Commerce.
The meeting was at Shotton Hall Conference Centre, Peterlee, on Thursday.
