Martha's Rule is a patient safety initiative led at the James Paget by the Critical Care Outreach Team (CCOT), a team of experienced specialist nurses.
This enables inpatients and their significant others, to access help and advice if they have concerns regarding a noticeable change or deterioration in the patient’s condition.
We encourage you to speak to the ward nurse or doctor in the first instance. If, following this, you feel your concerns are not being recognised or acted upon, then you can make a call to our specialist team for a rapid review.
The CCOT are a team of experienced specialist nurses who are available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. They work within all areas of the hospital, to care for acutely ill patients, those at risk of deterioration and patients recovering from critical illness.
To contact the team, if you feel your friend or family member is deteriorating, please call 07435 936400.
