Martha’s rule now in operation at every acute hospital in England

Martha’s rule now in operation at every acute hospital in England

The article discusses the implementation of "Martha's rule" in every acute hospital in England. This system allows NHS patients to request a review of their care, which has led to potentially life-saving improvements for hundreds of people since its introduction last year. The rule has resulted in patients being moved to intensive care, receiving necessary medications like antibiotics, and benefiting from other critical interventions. The article notes that the implementation of Martha's rule coincides with the 18th birthday of Martha, whose family welcomes this development as a way to honor her memory and ensure better care for other patients.
