Hello my name is…<br />

In April, Chris Pointon,<br />

co-founder of the<br />

#HelloMyNameIs<br />

movement, shared his<br />

inspirational story with<br />

staff.<br />

Along with his wife, Dr Kate Granger,<br />

who was terminally ill and a doctor in<br />

the UK health system, he was inspired<br />

to start a global campaign focused<br />

on encouraging all health staff to<br />

introduce themselves with a smile to all<br />

patients and visitors. Chris explained<br />

how the simple act of an introduction<br />

could be instrumental in creating<br />

human connections and providing truly<br />

person-centred care. Kate passed away<br />

in 2016, but her key values live on.<br />

Monash Health<br />

want all staff<br />

to join the<br />

#HelloMyNameIs<br />

movement to<br />

learn more, and<br />

start introducing<br />

themselves to<br />

patients and<br />

build that human<br />

connection<br />

with them.
