You may have seen healthcare staff in the UK wearing this yellow badge with their name on it.

But do you know the story behind this?

Dr Kate Granger MB was an NHS doctor who was diagnosed with cancer in 2011.

During a hospital stay in August 2013 with post-operative sepsis, she made the stark observation that many staff looking after her did not introduce themselves before delivering care.

It felt incredibly wrong that such a basic step in communication was missing.

She decided to start a campaign, primarily using social media initially, to encourage and remind healthcare staff about the importance of introductions in healthcare.

Introductions are about making a human connection between one human being who is suffering and vulnerable and another human being who wishes to help.

Dr. Kate Granger passed away in 2016, but the message she left is still going strong.

Remember, this isn't about wearing a yellow badge. This is to remind ourselves the importance of introductions & developing therapeutic relationships with our patients.

More information is in the link below.

It might feel extra hard to reach out for help today because it’s Christmas. But please know you don’t have to face anything alone. If you’re having a hard time, we’ll face it with you. We’re here all day and night 💚

[The Griefcast @thegriefcast]

🎙️In case you missed last week's incredible episode with Ed Byrne, talking about his brother Paul. Ed spoke to me just 3 months after Paul's death, as ever we talk #grief, running + who gets to keep the jokes...❤️
