A Suburban Turban hat fit for the Palace!

We couldn’t be more thrilled to see the photos of the amazing and inspirational Dr Kate Granger receiving her MBE last Friday at Buckingham Palace, looking STUNNING in a Suburban Turban headwear solution!

Kate founded the enormously successful #hellomynameis social media campaign two years ago, with the support her husband Chris Pointon, with the simple and wonderful vision of using social media to remind, encourage and inspire healthcare staff to make a point of introducing themselves when interacting with patients.

In Kate’s own words, and based on her own experiences as a patient and doctor: ‘I firmly believe a friendly introduction is about far more than just common courtesy but rather human connections, therapeutic relationships and building trust with patients” (read more of Kate’s inspirational story and mission at her website). The rest is awareness and fundraising history, and led to the Kate Granger Compassionate Care Awards. For her hugely well deserved ‘Big Day’ and honour from Her Majesty, Kate gave Nicky and the Suburban Turban team the honour of helping her find the perfect hat to do justice to her fantastic achievement and very gorgeous dress!

After much discussions back and forth between Kate and Nicky, the perfect solution came in the form of Suburban Turban’s ingenious ‘under turban’, which allows any wearer experiencing a period of hair loss (due to chemotherapy or alopecia) to wear the hat of their choice, ‘perched’ on top of this specially designed turban. Kate looked gorgeous – she had so many compliments on the day, and they kept coming via her Twitter feed, too! – as these pictures show. Nicky and the whole Suburban Turban team couldn’t be more delighted! CONGRATULATIONS to Kate from us all, and look out for a guest blog post from Kate herself, coming soon! …
