MariaPCC 5 September 2025

Martha’s Rule is now available in every acute hospital in England, the NHS has announced, as new data shows hundreds of patients have benefitted from potentially life-saving changes to their care thanks to the scheme. Between September 2024 and June 2025, there were 4,906 calls made to Martha’s Rule helplines to escalate concerns about care – leading to 241 potentially life-saving interventions being triggered. The positive results from the first year have led the NHS to expand its use to an additional 67 sites – meaning all 210 acute inpatient sites in England now offer the service.
