Hannah, staff nurse said: “Sometimes when working in PICU a baby will have two Mums and I’ve noticed that some parents haven’t always felt comfortable being open with all staff members. Once I saw a Mum looking at my badge and after that she knew it was ok to just be herself. She knew she was accepted, could be open and not judged.”

Lynzi Crisp, Highly Specialist Speech and Language Therapist said: “I love my badge and wear it with pride. I’ve had a conversation about my badge when travelling on the bus to do a home visit.  An older man asked why there were rainbows for the NHS everywhere.  I commented that the rainbow was to show support for LGBT+ patients and staff.  We then had a long discussion how things have changed in society since he was a young man. It was an enriching discussion for both of us.”
