In 2013, Dr. Kate Granger initiated a campaign advocating for healthcare professionals to introduce themselves to patients. While this may appear straightforward, and I've encountered the sentiment that it's an oversimplification or already standard practice, my personal experience suggests otherwise. Approximately one year ago, I was admitted to a local hospital due to acute cholecystitis. During my hospitalization, I observed the same phenomenon that Dr. Kate Granger highlighted. The patient experience in a hospital setting can be quite distinct from that of a healthcare provider. Many healthcare professionals were diligently performing their duties, and doing so effectively, yet often omitted introductions or explanations of their actions. Therefore, the message conveyed in the campaign initiated by Dr. Kate Granger should be reinforced. hellomynameis.org.uk/

We’re launching our 3rd annual survey next week. Please look out for the link & share widely. It will help build a picture of the experiences of physical activity for pregnant & postnatal women & will shape our priorities. This work will change the lives of women & their babies!

"If there's one thing I'm NOT afraid of, it's being 'canceled'. If being canceled means me living in integrity as a human being who thinks for themselves, CANCEL ME TODAY! I repeat; I am not afraid. What I'm truly afraid of is existing in a world that forces me to submit to an ideology without question, otherwise I'm to be shamed and cast out of the community. I am entitled to my own opinions, I have every right to question things that don't feel aligned with my values, morals, ethics, and beliefs. I have every right to push back if I recognise that I'm being forced to comply with ideologies an d practices that don't make sense to me” - @africabrooke101
