Award-winning comedian Robin Ince spent thirty years entertaining millions while battling a whirlwind of anxiety and self-doubt. It wasn't until his ADHD diagnosis at the age of fifty-two that the pieces finally fell into place.
In Normally Weird and Weirdly Normal, Robin turns his trademark wit on himself to investigate what actually makes us tick. Through personal stories and candid interviews, he explores the one question we're all too afraid to ask: what even is 'normal'
Warm and quirky, this is a heartfelt reminder that feeling a little bit different might just be the

Reflecting on my NQP year setting up a Front Doors SLT service. Never underestimate the importance of visibility and taking the time to do things properly. Couldn't have done it without great supervision and the fantastic Front Doors CEN #bskySpeechies #SLT #SLPeeps

What is already happening?​ What can we do better?​ Heading: Networking​. Visibility. Team huddles​. Crashing doctors’ workspaces​. AHP / housekeeping colleagues​. Shadowing other Trusts / CENs​. Heading: Data collection​. Auditing patient journeys​. Quantitative and qualitative measures​. Literature review​. Clear but flexible measures​.Presentation slide with a blue clipart image of a head with a lightbulb inside. Text reads: Reflections and learning. Heading: Training​. Difficult to establish. Took longer than expected​. Heading: MDT immersion. Takes time to find key players and advocates​. Need to be visible – not always possible in ED​. Heading: Pre-project considerations​. Need for pre-project data collection to prove change​. Heading: Going it alone​. Difficult to motivate as one person​. Can’t split tasks / bounce ideas​. No leave cover risks MDT returning to old habits​.
