@thelondongp: 🚨 A NEW RULE IS COMING TO A&Es ACROSS ENGLAND Martha’s Rule gives patients, families, carers and NHS staff another way to raise concerns if they believe someone’s condition is getting worse and they feel those concerns aren’t being responded to. If concerns remain, a dedicated number can be called to request a rapid review from a different clinical team. The rule is named after 13-year-old Martha Mills, who died from sepsis in 2021 after her family raised concerns about her deterioration. Martha’s Rule is now being expanded into A&E departments and waiting rooms across England, with a phased rollout due to be completed by March 2028. It’s not simply about disagreeing with your care, it’s an additional safety measure when there are concerns about clinical deterioration. Remember the name: Martha’s Rule. 📌 Save & share — this could be important for you or someone you love. The London GP | Health made simple Source: NHS England — Martha’s Rule Information only.

Why not being heard/ listened to in the first place but have to wait for another team to step in

They can introduce all the rules they want but without providing the resources they are just setting us up to continuous fail! This results in the public hating us and then creeps in privatisation!

Doctors just don’t seem interested anymore. Years ago doctors would take time to listen to patients instead of shoving them out the door

Shouldn’t need the Martha rule, all medical professionals should be competent to do their job professionally, if they can’t they shouldn’t be practicing medicine.. 🤷♂️

111 told me how much an ambulance cost, as they didnt think i was sick enough, and didnt want to send one. despite me being two days out of surgery, with a temp of 38.8. nearly died of sepsis. i was a former nurse, and i let them gaslight me, until i got a sense of impending doom, and made dad call an ambulance.

How about having medical staff triage A&E arrivals instead of receptionists?

Should we come to this ? Embarrassing system. Patients should be seen and heard in first place.

Why does another team have get involved in the first place? The medical team should be working with families and actually listening to parents when they say their child is deteriorating. It’s even more difficult when your child has complex medical condition.
