In 2013, Dr. Kate Granger initiated a campaign advocating for healthcare professionals to introduce themselves to patients.
While this may appear straightforward, and I've encountered the sentiment that it's an oversimplification or already standard practice, my personal experience suggests otherwise.
Approximately one year ago, I was admitted to a local hospital due to acute cholecystitis.
During my hospitalization, I observed the same phenomenon that Dr. Kate Granger highlighted. The patient experience in a hospital setting can be quite distinct from that of a healthcare provider.
Many healthcare professionals were diligently performing their duties, and doing so effectively, yet often omitted introductions or explanations of their actions.
Therefore, the message conveyed in the campaign initiated by Dr. Kate Granger should be reinforced.

Did you know the #BBC collects £311 million a year from Scottish households for the TV license but only spends £91 million on Scottish programmes?
Yep the Scots are forced to pay for colonial culture.

The British government “care more about red paint on planes than they do about red blood on the walls of tents in Gaza.”
Actor Juliet Stevenson attended the demonstration outside Downing Street last night, to demand our government takes action to prevent mass starvation in Palestine. “They would only proscribe that organisation [Palestine Action] if they were desperate to suppress this protest, but they never will suppress this protest. Look at the town out today.”
Since Trump doesn't want this portrait of President Obama displayed in the White House, let's make this photo of our President go viral here!
