Hello My Name Is…


The “Hello My Name Is…” campaign is a compassionate care campaign founded by the late Dr Kate Granger, a geriatrician and crusader for better patient care who launched a movement to remind healthcare staff of the importance of introducing themselves properly to patients. Thanks to her work a small, human-centred change is making meaningful improvements to patient experience.

But, in an ideal world, should Dr Granger’s campaign have ever been necessary? Introducing yourself properly is surely essential to becoming a trusted caregiver?

And wouldn’t patients be less anxious and more satisfied with their care if a standardised communication framework was universally adopted across all hospitals?

In fact, shouldn’t health payers, whether public or private, be helping to focus healthcare leader’s attention on patient experience by explicitly tying hospital reimbursement to patient satisfaction scores?

These are just a few of the questions we explore and answer in the Institute of Healthcare Leadership and Management’s patient experience and service excellence course – a course for anyone who wants to design and deliver more person-centred, compassionate and responsive care.
