Who gets missed — and why?
In busy health and care settings, some people can unintentionally become invisible. This reflective session explores how assumptions, time pressure, bias and the way systems work can influence who gets our attention — and who doesn’t.
We’ll explore what it really means to notice people, challenge our assumptions and make small changes that help people feel seen, heard and valued before crisis.
💭 For anyone willing to ask: “Who didn’t I notice this week?”.

Episode 36 of the It's All About People podcast is being re-released in memory of Bob Suich, who sadly died in July.

The episode features Bob's Brainwaves founder Chris Suich, Bob’s wife, and shares the story behind the dementia support packs she created, which continue to make a difference to people living with dementia and those who support them.
The packs have continued to expand their reach across Lincolnshire, and more recently into Lincoln. As part of a new initiative within South Lincoln Healthcare Living Well Team, Care coordinators are using reports run on behalf of GP practices who have recently received a formal dementia diagnosis through the usual specialist pathway.

Those people will be proactively contacted 4 weeks after their diagnosis and offered a Bob's Brainwaves pack, alongside follow-up support, care planning conversations and opportunities to discuss what matters most to them.
The development marks another step in the growing impact of Bob's Brainwaves across Lincolnshire, helping people and families access practical information and support following a dementia diagnosis.

Listen to Chris explain why she felt so passionately that packs would be useful as well as Chris, Jane and Gavin talking about caring for someone with dementia. What a great memorial to Bob – sending our love to Chris and the family. (relaunched with consent from Chris)
