The Champions story so far…
The It's All About People Personalisation Champions Programme was formally launched in January 2024. An initial cohort of 50 individuals from across the Lincolnshire health, care, and wellbeing community has been nominated as personalisation advocates, and were invited to become our first Champions.
The response to our email informing this group of their nomination was overwhelmingly positive. Here are some of the responses we received:
- “This is so lovely, thank you for letting me know. And yes, of course I would be honoured to be a champion to support the ongoing work.”
- “Thank you for the email today - you made my day, and I would be very honoured to be a Personalisation Champion.”
- “It's All About People Champions sounds really exciting and I would love to be a part of this.”
- “Oh how wonderful, thank you so much! I’ll wait to hear from you – but that’s made my day.”
Since launch, that initial cohort of 50 has quickly shot past the 300 mark, now representing a wide range of roles, professions, and specialties, from practitioners to service leaders, volunteer care providers to ‘experts by experience’.
Some of the things our champions tell us:
“After feeling very deflated and questioning my role and function. I took the opportunity to attend today. I now feel incredibly inspired and have fire back in my belly. I feel I have found my mojo again, meeting with like minded people really is a powerful gift.”
“So good for networking and meeting people from different areas of work and building connections”
“Really helpful session and good connections made. The culture shift is massively important to the future of health and care, please keep going!”
