 My name is Claire and today is the international day of Hello My Name is campaign. I'm going to put all the links below but just to give you the low down of the campaign it was originally started by Dr Kate Granger and back in 2013 she was she had the misfortune of being diagnosed with cancer and unfortunately became a patient at hospital and she realised that all these health care professionals were coming in and out of her room and they weren't introducing themselves so they were all doing these different procedures and things she didn't have a clue who they were what their names were so she got really mad she had a rant at her husband Chris Poynton who's another fantastic person and he said to her something like stop moaning about it get out and do something about it so she did and the hello my name is campaign was born it's just fantastic it's gone worldwide unfortunately Kate Granger passed away in 2016 but you know what she lives on in this campaign her heart and soul is still in this today and in Chris Poynton her husband who has done such an amazing job with this campaign and he's allowing her legacy to live in in himself in the campaign and he's making sure that other patients don't go through the same thing that his wife went through because it's not nice it's simple communication isn't it we should all be introducing ourselves we shouldn't just be going into people and not introducing ourselves it baffles me that this has happened and to be honest i didn't know about the campaign until last year i thought do you know what this isn't okay and we're gonna become a hello my name is campaigner and so today is really a celebration of that if you're watching this and it's before 3 20 p.m we're holding a whole minute silence across the whole world if you're watching this 3 20 p.m hold your minute silence for Dr Kate Granger just take that moment to just stop wherever you are and just think about things so now the hello my name is campaign is fantastic like i said the links are below have a look and get involved wherever you can on the website you can buy mug you can buy lanyard you can buy badges you can buy t-shirts and all of the money is donated to charity so go and check it out and have a look just go out support the cause support chris pointon and everything he's doing i'm going to put all the twitter links and social media links as well for you and just go and have a look go follow it i just want to say a massive thank you to chris pointon for spreading the message everywhere because you're doing such a fantastic job you're doing amazing and if you don't already know who chris pointon is go and have a look at him i'm going to leave the links below again he's just fantastic he does talks he goes to conferences he's traveling worldwide with this campaign he really wants the message to be out there to stop this from happening again and he's just amazing so thank you chris pointon if you're watching you're fantastic it's an amazing campaign and i'm really happy to spread the love spread the message make sure everybody's introducing themselves and just yeah i hope everyone has a fantastic day don't forget to introduce yourself to someone today
