WMTY.world - A collaboration with The Beryl Institute
Each month, the What Matters to You global community comes together for an interactive meeting focused on sharing stories, resources, and best practices. These gatherings provide an open space for individuals and organizations to learn from one another, highlight ongoing initiatives, and explore ways to elevate the voice of patients, families, and care teams. Whether you are new to the movement or continuing to expand your efforts, these monthly meetings are an opportunity to connect, collaborate, and be inspired by the collective commitment to making “what matters” a core part of care.

Martha's Rule is a person-centred patient safety initiative being implemented in the NHS in England and now Scotland. It is designed to empower patients, families, and healthcare staff to request an urgent medical review if they feel their concerns about a patient's care are not being addressed. This initiative aims to systematically harness sources of intuition and insight that might otherwise be overlooked, to support early identification of clinical deterioration and rapid review.
