Martha's Rule: Detecting Deterioration
What is Martha's Rule?
Patient safety is a high priority at the James Paget University Hospital.
Martha’s Rule is an NHS England patient safety initiative led by the Critical Care Outreach Team (CCOT) which enables inpatients and their significant others to access advice if they have concerns regarding a noticeable change or deterioration in the patient’s condition, and feel that their concern is not being addressed by the ward team.
