We are thrilled to learn about the launch of the new NHS initiative, Jess's Rule which will hold weight under the common law of negligence and serves as a powerful reminder for GPs to adopt a "three strikes and rethink" approach to medical diagnoses. This means that after a patient has attended three appointments with the same symptoms, a different course of action should be considered. We hope this will lead to further investigations and referrals, ultimately preventing many avoidable deaths such as Jessica Brady's caused by wrong diagnosis.

Jess's Rule urges doctors to 'think again' if they cannot diagnose a patient's illness after three appointments.

In care proceedings involving allegations of Fabricated or Induced Illness (FII) by proxy, careful analysis of the parent’s and child’s medical records will be required.

DMR Collation can assist in this review by:
1. Organising records in chronological order, with pagination and a detailed index, while removing duplicates.
2. Conducting a thorough review to identify entries that support or refute FII claims, creating a detailed medical history.
3. Identifying discrepancies between witness statements and medical records.
4. Converting paper records into digital, searchable formats.
5. Redacting privileged third-party information.
6. Creating a tailored “core bundle” of records to reduce the volume needed for court or expert review.

If you’ve attended any recent legal training, it's likely that the Defence of Fundamental Dishonesty was a topic of discussion. This week, it's particularly pertinent due to the High Court's ruling in the case of O’Connell -v- the Ministry of Defence, where the Claimant was found to be fundamentally dishonest in her claims regarding the long-term effects of her injury. But what exactly is Fundamental Dishonesty and how can we assist you in cases where this defence has been raised?
