Health and social ‘problems’ can’t be resolved by either government, or public service professionals, or individual citizens alone, but are best tackled in genuine partnership. I can help you facilitate this.

Just a gloriously ordinary life
Doing what it takes to get people gloriously ordinary lives should be pretty straightforward, after all its what most of us do in our own lives every day.
We have a policy framework across health, social care and education that actively promotes, and in some case requires choice, control, personalisation, personal budgets, co-production …and the list goes on. Yet we know that many older and disabled people, disabled children and young people are a million miles away from their gloriously ordinary life.
The daft thing is, getting people a gloriously ordinary life is actually pretty simple.
I hazard a guess that you’ve stumbled on my site because you’re looking for some help around one of those words …
Co-production — maybe you’re trying to work out exactly how to get a strong voice for people who use services and family carers whilst meeting the everyday demands of commissioning?
Person centred thinking — are you managing a group of staff who could do with a shake up, or who you know could fly if they had some creative input? Do you need to look again at your support planning process? Are you worried that your education, health and care plan process has lost its heart?
Personal budgets — are you commissioning services for individuals, or groups of people that you know are not getting gloriously ordinary lives and whose support is probably hugely expensive? Are you the loved one of someone who needs to get a gloriously ordinary life?
You’re in the right place.
“There’s a pleasure in being reminded of the value of ordinary life.”
