About the Printed Lanyards with Health and Safety Breakaway and Metal Dog Clip - #hellomynameis Pack Size: 100 Manufacturer Part Number: 06-3112-NHS-HMN-SC Clip Type: Metal Dog Clip Health & Safety Breakaway: Yes The hellomynameis idea began with Dr Kate Granger. Dr Granger went into hospital for treatment and noticed how often staff treating her didn't introduce themselves. What started as one doctor's frustration is now standard practice across much of NHS Scotland, with care staff wearing their commitment to introduce themselves visibly, rather than leaving it to chance. These lanyards help support this cause, and 10% of the profits from these go to Dr Granger's charity. Specification and Ordering Each lanyard comes with a metal dog clip and a single health and safety breakaway, fitted as standard, releasing safely if it's ever caught or pulled. The text and NHS Scotland logo are printed onto the 15mm lanyard using dye-sublimation for a professional finish, making them ideal for healthcare organisations across Scotland. Please note: Because this product carries the NHS logo, it can only be supplied to people working in the care profession, and orders must be placed using an NHS email address with delivery to a registered NHS address. Orders that don't meet these terms may be cancelled and refunded, so it's worth confirming these details are correct before you check out. What "Hello My Name Is" Actually Asks of Staff The campaign asks for one thing: say your name before anything else happens. It sounds small, but a patient who's anxious, in pain, or facing a diagnosis they don't understand often feels like they've lost control of the situation entirely. An introduction hands a small piece of that back. It turns "a doctor" into a person with a name, someone the patient can actually address rather than just be addressed by. That's the real purpose behind it. A genuine attempt to keep hospitals and care settings human at moments when they can feel anything but. Staff wearing this lanyard are making that commitment visible before they've said a word, so a patient or family member always knows the offer's there, even on a day when nerves make it hard to ask. Our hellomynameis range extends to ID badges, name badges and ID card holders, as well as NHS lanyards for England, Scotland and Wales, so please do explore the full range we have available while you are here...
