The patient centric care is the future of medicine. We need to make parents, we need to make patients part of all healthcare journey for children and adults. They need to be part of the decision making. And Ryan's Rule actually encompasses all principles of patient centered care. This includes listening to the parent or the patient, making them part of their healthcare decision-making as well. And coordinated care.
I bring with myself 10 to 14 years of experience of Ryan's Rule in Queensland and I want to help the NHS to incorporate those principles for success of Martha's Rule. That's my take-home message.
