Martha's Rule
Ashford and St Peter's Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust has introduced Martha's Rule, a national NHS patient safety initiative that gives patients, their families, carers and staff another way to raise concerns if they believe an inpatient's condition is getting worse.
Martha's Rule provides access to an urgent clinical review when concerns about a patient's deterioration have not been fully addressed after speaking with the clinical team caring for them. The initiative is designed to strengthen patient safety by ensuring concerns are listened to, assessed promptly and acted upon where appropriate.
- Visit our Martha's Rule section for more details.
