Advice and Information

Healthwatch England's research shows that there are significant gaps between the choices patients want when booking a GP appointment and the ones they are offered. But what choices should you get at your GP practice?

Patients across England will now benefit from a new NHS safety rule designed to catch serious illnesses earlier. Known as Jess’s Rule, the rule aims to speed up diagnoses and prevent avoidable deaths.

NHS England has introduced a new patient charter, called “You and Your General Practice”, which sets out your rights and responsibilities when using GP services. From October, every GP practice must show this charter to help patients understand how to get the best care from their surgery.

Martha’s Rule is a major patient safety initiative providing patients and families with a way to seek an urgent review if their or their loved one’s condition deteriorates and they are concerned this is not being responded to.
