#BACCNC4C

Many of us have heard the heartbreaking story of Martha Mills who died in 2021. Her parents spotted obvious signs that their daughter was deteriorating but wasn't listened to by staff about her symptoms until it was too late. There has been significant national coverage over the last month or so and the Royal Berkshire Hospital has been held up as an exemplar due to the Call for Concern service set up there back in 2010 by Dr Mandy Odell (now retired Critical Care Nurse Consultant). This patient and relative-activated rapid response / critical care outreach service has already been implemented across many other teams and is one of the quality metrics for the evaluation of Rapid Response Systems internationally.  Let's hear from those who have successfully implemented this and or some of the challenges that teams face in getting this set up within their hospital. Let's talk #BACCNC4C
