East Surrey Hospital launches Martha’s Rule initiative

Dr Kofi Nimako, clinical lead for the project, said: “We know that friends and family can often see a patient’s deterioration before anyone else does.

“They will know what signs to look out for and can often spot when something is out of the ordinary.

“Our critical care outreach will act as the ‘fresh set of eyes’, working with ward teams to escalate appropriately and support patients and their family.”

Merope Mills campaigned for Martha’s Rule after her daughter died from sepsis in 2021. An inquest found 13-year-old Martha could have survived with better care.

As part of Martha’s Rule, NHS staff will be able to contact the critical care team with concerns for a patient, and clinicians will also formally record daily insights and information about a patient’s health directly from them or their families.

East Surrey and Frimley Park hospitals were chosen earlier this year to pilot the first phase of Martha’s Rule, which will be complete by March.
