Why is it always a 'sad' death? The consultants who investigated what happened to Martha at the hands of the status-obsessed paediatric liver team King's College NHS said it made them 'ashamed of their profession'. So 'scandalous' yes, but save me from sad. nhsconfed.org/news/nhs-confe…

“A reader of The Times commented “my husband was saved by this process.” Thank you Helen Rumbelow for taking the time to talk to me about how Martha’s Rule can help make the NHS better & safer

"It’s about a shift in the balance of power away from passive deference to doctors and towards patients" Thanks to Keir Starmer for highlighting the successes of Martha's Rule in his speech on the NHS this morning theguardian.com/politics/live/…

I wrote for the Guardian’s Saturday magazine about my son Max, who changed how I see the world. Took ages. More jokes after the first bit. Thanks Merope for being the most patient and generous editor. theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2…

Research from nearly 200k A&E visits showed parental concern was a better predictor of serious illness than any vital signs like blood pressure, heart rate etc. New study in The Lancet is further vindication of the value of Martha's Rule 👇 thetimes.com/uk/healthcare/…
