The new guidance puts in writing for the first time patients' rights to a medical second opinion

The NHS has announced the 143 hospital sites that will test and roll out Martha’s rule in its first year - including five in Lancashire

Families and patients who ring the number will be able to request a second opinion from a critical care outreach team. The programme will be in place at all 143 sites by March 2025, NHS England said.They include: Blackpool Victoria Hospital; Royal Blackburn Hospital; Burnley General Hospital; and Preston and Chorley Hospitals. Southport District General Hospital also makes the list while Morecambe and Lancaster hospitals do not.

Martha’s parents, Merope Mills and Paul Laity, raised concerns about their daughter’s health a number of times but these were brushed aside. A coroner ruled she would most likely have survived if doctors had identified the warning signs of her rapidly-deteriorating condition and transferred her to intensive care earlier.

“We are pleased that the rollout of Martha’s rule is off to a flying start and that the need for it has been so widely recognised,” they said. “It will save lives and encourage better, more open communication on hospital wards, so that patients feel they are listened to, and partners in their healthcare.”
