Our People Podcast: Martha’s Rule Live Special
In this special live episode of Our People Podcast, recorded at the Patient Safety and Safeguarding Conference 2025 as part of Safetember, we shine a spotlight on Martha’s Rule - a vital initiative putting patient and family voices at the heart of care.
Discover expert insights from Phillip O'Donnell, Consultant in Emergency Medicine & Pre-Hospital Emergency Medicine, and Lisa Hobbs, Martha’s Rule Project Lead.
You’ll also hear from a panel of dedicated NHS staff sharing real-world experiences of implementing Martha’s Rule in clinical practice—plus a live audience Q&A session.
Named after 13-year-old Martha Mills, who tragically died of sepsis after her family’s concerns weren’t acted upon, Martha’s Rule aims to prevent avoidable harm by promoting early recognition and response to patient deterioration.
