Dr Kate Granger, the founder of the successful “Hello, my name is” campaign, won a Special Achievement Award at The BMJ Awards 2016 in London last week.

Kate,  whose experiences as a patient with cancer led to the campaign, was the first recipient of this one-off award.

Her campaign now has 42,000 Twitter followers globally and Trusts across the country including CHFT have now adopted it.

Dr Granger, who was born in HRI,  was joined by doctors and teams who have excelled in their fields, such as anaesthesia, diabetes, cancer care, cardiology, clinical leadership, dermatology, and gastroenterology.
