Welcome to It's All About People!
Practical learning, tools, and insight to support personalised care across Lincolnshire
It's All About People is Lincolnshire's Personalisation Programme. We support health, care, and wellbeing professionals to put people at the centre of care, through shared learning, practical resources, and insight from real stories of health and care experiences.
Who is this for?
It's All About People is for anyone involved in health, care, or wellbeing in Lincolnshire who wants to work in more personalised, strengths-based ways.
The It's All About People Personalisation Programme team (that's us below) brings together the expertise and experience of individuals drawn from across the Lincolnshire health and care system - from NHS Lincolnshire, Lincolnshire County Council, Lincolnshire Voluntary Engagement Team (LVET), and the broader Voluntary, Community, Faith and Social Enterprise Sector (VCFSE). And we work alongside Experts by Experience - people who use health, care, and wellbeing services right here in Lincolnshire
So, whether you’re new to personalised care or looking to deepen your practice, this site is packed with practical support with you in mind!

It's All About People Podcast Episode 100 - Celebrating personalisation in Lincolnshire
100 episodes. Hundreds of voices. One shared ambition.
Our 100th episode (with approaching 10,000 podcast downloads to date) is more than a milestone - it's a celebration of the people, stories and conversations helping to transform health and care across Lincolnshire.
To mark the occasion, we've travelled across the county to ask a wide range of colleagues, partners and friends what really matters? And the answers are inspiring, exploring personalisation, relationships, the power of language, co-production, and hopes for the future.
Supporting better end-of-life care for people with diabetes
When someone with diabetes is nearing the end of life, the right conversations can make all the difference.
In the final St Barnabas Hospice podcast of this series, Majella Wright, Advanced Clinical Practitioner, is joined by Dr Jess Weller, Consultant in Palliative Medicine, and Rowan Bontoft, Advanced Clinical Practitioner, to expand on why planning ahead matters, how personalised care can help people stay where they want to be, and how clear plans can prevent unnecessary hospital admissions.
They also share practical advice for clinicians and reassurance for families facing difficult decisions, showing how compassionate, joined-up care can improve comfort, dignity and peace of mind.
“Knowledge is Power”: Fraud and scams prevention and support
Vicky Salmon is a Community Safety Strategy Co-ordinator who works within Lincolnshire County Council. Listen to her talk to Alison about the techniques fraudsters use, the lasting impact this can have on people, and what we can do, both personally and professionally, to reduce the risk of fraud and scams.
Vicky presents real stories of people who have been impacted, as well as discussing how working with partners means more people are supported and educated.
Mapping personalisation across Lincolnshire and beyond
Our It's All About People Personalisation Champions use the Padlet mapping tool to record where they, and the people they work with and encounter in their own work, are using personalised care approaches in their practice, and making an impact in Lincolnshire. The map also records where our Champions are actively spreading the word about personalisation, in Lincolnshire, nationally, and internationally.
We call these personalisation interventions and developments 'ripples' - and we're working with our Champions and other stakeholders across the county to turn these ripples into waves of real and lasting change.
