Martha's Rule is a patient safety service. It should not be used to report general problems such as issues with bed, room, food or parking. Martha's Rule is not for obtaining medical updates or a general second opinion.

Please speak to a member of staff, nurse in charge or ask for the ward manager or matron to discuss these issues.
