The "Hello my Name is......." campaign inspired by amazing Dr Kate Granger is spreading at pace across the Trust. 

Dr Granger, who has been diagnosed with cancer, has launched a national campaign to improve communications between health professionals and their patients to "make them feel like people."

The campaign was inspired after her own experiences following her diagnosis when she recognised that the words and approach used by doctors and nurses, could make all the difference.

In the coming few weeks, many colleagues at CHFT will be featured on their own "Hello my name is..." poster in support of the campaign to enhance compassionate care. 

And if you haven't got the message watch this short film on our intranet byJonathan France in Medical Illustration during her visit in May 2014. Watch her here  http://nww.cht.nhs.uk/training-development/hello-my-name-is/

Pretty amazing, our Kate!
