In 2011 Dr Kate Granger, an elderly care physician, was diagnosed with cancer at the age of 29. Following her diagnosis, Kate started a campaign to encourage NHS staff to introduce themselves to patients. Kate sadly lost her battle with cancer, and her campaign has become her legacy.
At Moorfields Eye Hospital NHS Foundation Trust we are committed to supporting Kate's legacy because, like Kate, we believe it supports our commitment to delivering the best possible care to our patients.
#HelloMyNameIs helps us to nurture compassionate and person-centred care.
So, when a member of Moorfields staff meets a patient, or visitor, we start every conversation by telling them our name. But we go a step further, we also introduce ourselves to the wider Moorfields team. On this page you can meet some of our team members and learn a little more about who they are.
If you are a member of staff and would like to get involved please visit eyeQ for more information.
