Dying doctor's 'Hello, my name is...' Twitter campaign wins support from Northamptonshire hospital staff

Dying doctor's 'Hello, my name is...' Twitter campaign wins support from Northamptonshire hospital staff A social-media campaign by a terminally ill doctor to encourage hospital staff to introduce themselves to patients is being supported by more than 90 NHS organisations, including one from Northamptonshire.

The ‘Hello my name is…’ campaign has been spearheaded by Dr Kate Granger, who is a young hospital consultant who became frustrated with the number of staff who failed to introduce themselves to her when she was in hospital.

The 31-year-old, who has terminal cancer, has now made it her mission in whatever time she has left to get as many hospital staff as possible pledging to introduce themselves to patients.

Ninety NHS organisations are now backing her campaign, including Northamptonshire Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust. Northants Herald and Post
