More than 10,000 calls have been made to Martha’s Rule helplines in the first 16 months of the NHS scheme, helping thousands of patients benefit from changes to their care and potentially saving lives.

Martha's Rule helps detect deterioration in hospital patients early. It gives patients and families the right to call for a rapid review if they are worried a loved one’s condition – or their own – is getting worse.

Staff can also ask for a review from a different team if they are concerned any appropriate action is not being taken.

After feedback from our local GP Surgery, we have now secured a monthly Cancer Support Group in partnership with Wester Park Cancer Charity 💜

Cancer changes lives - not only for those diagnosed, but for the families who walk beside them. Most families are touched by cancer at some point, often feeling overwhelmed and unsure where to turn 🤍

Our cancer support group offers connection, compassion, and understanding in a space where every story matters. This is a place to be heard, supported, and reminded that even in the hardest moments, you are not alone 🤝
