Welcome
In a world where shielding is a long-distant memory the immuno-compromised cohort are having to navigate ‘normal’ life as safely as they can.
This lanyard has been produced by someone in exactly this position who, on making her first long train journey after the pandemic, wanted to maximise her safety. A badge wasn't appropriate because of its limited visibility and none of the available lanyards quite fitted the bill. It needed to be something clear, simple, and to the point, and not specific to any particular health condition.
In trials we proved that wearing this lanyard does help – on a hospital outpatient visit the nurse in charge clocked the lanyard on directing the patient to a particular waiting area and suggested an alternative quieter area; on another train trip a passenger sat down opposite the wearer, saw the lanyard, and immediately asked if it was OK to sit there or should he move.
There will always be those who simply take no notice but there are many considerate people around and, if nothing else, wearing the lanyard alerts others to the fact that some people have to remain incredibly careful. It can also be a conversation starter and a way of raising awareness which is never a bad thing where health conditions are concerned.
"Many thanks, this is an excellent top-quality item and a great idea. Just what I needed at this time when I am getting out a little more. Much appreciated fast service."
