Health Innovation East: Martha’s Rule in action – a patient’s story (11 November 2025)

Summary

Martha’s Rule is a patient safety initiative empowering patients, families and carers to raise concerns if their loved one’s condition is getting worse and their concerns are not being responded to. As the implementation partner for Martha’s Rule, the Health Innovation Network supports its delivery through the regional Patient Safety Collaboratives. In this blog looks at this in practice, with Elaine and Diane sharing their experience of calling Martha’s Rule into action.
