Martha’s Rule is a patient safety initiative to support the early detection of deterioration by ensuring the concerns of patients, families, carers and staff are listened to and acted upon. It has been developed in response to the death of Martha Mills and other cases related to the management of deterioration. Central to Martha’s Rule is the right for patients, families and carers to request a rapid review if they are worried that their own or their loved one’s condition is getting worse and their concerns are not being responded to. The Royal Manchester Children's Hospital's (RMCH) was one of the pilot sites during the first year of the Martha's Rule pilot. This blog outlines the hospital's efforts over the past year to integrate Martha’s Rule into everyday clinical practice, aiming to empower staff and families to raise concerns effectively on patient deterioration.
