Patients at East Surrey and Frimley Park hospitals can request a second opinion under the rules.
Two hospitals in Surrey will be among the first in England to introduce Martha’s rule, allowing seriously ill patients and their families easy access to a second opinion if their condition worsens.When the rule is introduced at East Surrey and Frimley Park hospitals later this year, people who feel their concerns are not being listened to can request a second opinion.
Ed Cetti, chief medical officer at East Surrey, said: “It can only be a positive step for patient safety if patients or their families can request an urgent review if there is a concern about clinical deterioration.” Martha injured her pancreas after slipping onto the handlebars of her bike while cycling in 2021. She was admitted to King’s College Hospital, in London.
