[Margaret Pilkington]

Neil I was management. I did take my concerns to the appropriate bodies and they supplied lanyards( eventually). Just so that you could be garrotted by some disorientated patient coming round from anaesthetic.

Yes, I could have found the badge, but why on earth would I attend to do a physical and mentally challenging job on a busy ward just to use a name badge I had found? You would have to nuts to do that.
My photo was in a large frame with all staff pictures at the doorway of both wards I managed.
I worked at the hospital for 29 years. I was known to staff and patients alike.
People still call out my name when they see me in the street.
There are much bigger issues in the NHS that need radical and immediate attention...many of which have been highlighted in this thread.
