A campaign by a terminally ill doctor to encourage healthcare staff to introduce themselves to patients is being supported by more than 90 NHS organisations.
Dr Kate Granger, a 31-year-old hospital consultant, started the "Hello my name is..." campaign while she was being treated for cancer.
She felt frustrated by staff who failed to tell her their names.
David Cameron, Jeremy Hunt and Bob Geldof are all supporting her campaign.
Dr Granger started her campaign to improve the patient experience in hospital, shortly after she was diagnosed with a rare and aggressive form of cancer three years ago.
The doctor who informed her that her cancer had spread did not introduce himself to her and did not look her in the eye.
