Alison sits down with members of the Living Well team at South Lincoln Healthcare Primary Care Network about what personalised care really looks like in practice.

Care Coordinators Jackie and Helen, and Health and Wellbeing Coach Panos, share how non-clinical roles are helping people feel heard, supported, and more in control of their lives.

From “what matters to me” conversations to community events and powerful personal stories, this episode explores how listening, trust, and teamwork can transform care - by putting people, not conditions, at the centre.

Our Shared Agreement - and the Five Foundations that drive it - are beautifully brought to life through these stories of co-production, connectivity and collaboration, conversations, and curiosity. Fantastic stuff!

Joining Alison this week is TikTok sensation Bailey Greetham, winner of Active Lincolnshire’s Outstanding Service to Sport and Physical Activity 2025 award, sponsored by The Fitness Group. Known internationally for inspiring older adults to move more, especially those living in care homes, Bailey is Grimsby-based and determined to make change happen close to home in Lincolnshire.

Fresh from a BBC interview, Bailey talks openly about treating the people he works with as humans first, using simple videos to shine a light on the care sector, and building genuine relationships that really matter. His approach is refreshingly down to earth – “none of this is rocket science.”

Tune in as Bailey and Alison bring Our Shared Agreement to life and show how anyone can make a difference. As Bailey says, “Owt is better than nowt!”

For some people, Christmas is a season of sparkle, togetherness, and joy. For others, it can feel overwhelming, lonely, or quietly painful - and sometimes it’s a mix of all three. As the big day gets closer, the pressure ramps up: expectations, busy family dynamics, empty chairs at the table, or the weight of grief that feels heavier this time of year.

In this second episode of this Mental Health series, our colleagues from South Lincolnshire Rural Primary Care Network, Kavya, Melissa, and Leah, talk honestly about what Christmas really feels like - and how to cope when it’s not all festive cheer.

Together, they explore:

• How to get through (and even enjoy) a busy family Christmas
• Ways to manage if you’re spending Christmas on your own
• And how to navigate bereavement during the festive period

Whether you’re counting down the days with excitement, dread, or something in between, this episode is a reminder that you’re not alone - and that it’s okay to do Christmas your own way.
