Martha’s Rule is currently a topic of intense discussion and debate. Behind the rule is a sad and tragic story which strikes at the heart of NHS care delivery – clinical failures and the death of a 13-year-old girl.

In this blog, John Tingle argues there is a need to formalise the right of patients and their families/carers to obtain an urgent clinical review, second opinion.
