Critical care outreach teams are small teams of senior medics who are on call and whom staff can ask to quickly review the condition of a patient they fear is in dangerous decline. It is the result of a campaign by the parents of Martha Mills, who died in 2021 after hospital doctors failed to admit her to intensive care. Martha, 13, died after developing sepsis while under the care of King’s College hospital NHS foundation trust in south London.
A DHSC spokesperson said: “We continue to urgently look at the implementation of Martha’s rule, and the evidence on what works to support patients and their families seeking a second opinion. The patient safety commissioner has now outlined her recommendations on how to take forward Martha’s rule, and we will work with NHS England and others to build on these findings and consider next steps.”
