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!

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.
