Jess’s Rule – also known as “Three Strikes and We Rethink” – is a patient safety approach aimed at improving the earlier recognition of serious or ongoing symptoms in primary care.

If a patient presents three times with the same or worsening symptoms, clinicians are encouraged to pause, review, and reconsider the diagnosis or next steps – helping to ensure that nothing important is missed and that appropriate investigations or referrals are made.

At Healthwatch Cambridgeshire and Peterborough, we want to understand people’s real experiences of this in practice. Have you or someone you care for experienced delays in diagnosis, repeated GP visits for the same symptoms, or felt that concerns weren’t fully explored in primary care?

Your experiences help us highlight where improvements are needed and ensure patients are being listened to and taken seriously from the very first appointment.

We’d like to hear from you – if you'd like more information on Jess' rule, take a look at our article here: https://ow.ly/HnoN50YOp2e

📣 Youthwatch update: va**ng report + what’s next

We previously published our Youthwatch report exploring va**ng among young people in our area, highlighting important insights into trends, motivations, and the impact of peer pressure, social influences, and stress.

Young people involved in Youthwatch also shared clear recommendations, including:
• Earlier preventative education
• Better awareness of recycling va**ng products
• Targeted support for those looking to stop va**ng

This work continues to help shape how services understand and respond to young people’s experiences.

👀 And there’s more to come… A new Youthwatch report is currently in development and will be published soon. Watch this space for the next set of insights from young people in our community.

👉 Stay tuned for updates. Visit www.healthwatchcambridgeshire.co.uk/youthwatch for more details!
