Transforming Dementia Care with Pat Hobson

Today with us on the Incite Change Podcast, Coach Mauro sits down with Pat Hobson.   Pat is a healthcare leader, author, and expert in dementia care, safeguarding, and complex case management. She works with health, social care, and voluntary organizations facing high-stakes challenges where standard solutions no longer work. From care homes to hospitals, she supports teams in navigating difficult cases involving dementia, autism, learning disabilities, and mental health needs.   As the founder of PMH Consultancy and Education Ltd, she provides strategic guidance and hands-on support across leadership, safeguarding, and system design. Her "person-led pathway" models have been implemented in real-world settings, helping services respond more effectively to individuals who fall through the cracks. She has decades of experience managing crisis cases, national repatriations, and patient safety failures.   Her focus is on ensuring that innovation doesn't overlook vulnerable groups, especially those with cognitive or complex needs. She brings honest insight, practical tools and a deep commitment to making systems work better for the people at their centre.
