Dr Kate Granger On The Importance Of "Hello My Name Is"

Dr Kate Granger is an Elderly Medicine Consultant in her early 30s in Yorkshire in the UK - 'Nothing unusual about that really' as she comments in her blog. What is different about Kate is that for several years she has been living with a  terminal cancer diagnosis and how she has navigated that journey. She is the author of two books and has blogged to over a million readers on her blog. In addition to this she is the driving force behind the #HelloMyNameIs campaign for those in healthcare to always introduce themselves when meeting a patient - a simple but often overlooked act.    This is a wonderful conversation with someone who really has inspired me to reconsider and value so much in life.  If you enjoyed this episode please ‘Subscribe‘ on iTunes or Stitcher.
