In England, Martha’s Rule is already helping patients and families escalate concerns quickly—leading to hundreds of potentially lifesaving interventions. Scotland is trialling a version at Hairmyres Hospital, but patients across Scotland still don’t yet have the same right to a second opinion or rapid escalation route.

In today's The Scotsman, Michaela Guthrie says it’s time Scotland caught up—without waiting for another tragedy to force change.

February is Power of Attorney Month – and recent coverage featuring Martin Lewis has highlighted just how serious the consequences can be without one in place.

Fewer than one in 10 Scots have a POA. Without it, families can face frozen accounts, unpaid bills and lengthy court processes if a loved one loses capacity.

With registration delays at the Office of the Public Guardian, planning ahead is more important than ever.

⚖️ The Employment Rights Act 2025 marks the most significant reform of employment law in decades — with phased implementation beginning from April 2026.

In our latest article, Eve Cameron highlights three critical changes every employer must prepare for:

▪️ Changes to unfair dismissal claims
▪️ A strengthened duty to prevent harassment
▪️ Expansions to family leave rights and pregnancy protections

These reforms will have substantial operational and financial implications. Early preparation is essential to manage risk, update policies, and train managers effectively.

If your organisation has not yet reviewed its approach, now is the time.

💡Did you know fewer than 1 in 10 Scots have a power of attorney?

A power of attorney (POA) isn’t just for later life – it’s relevant at every stage. Without one, no one, not even your spouse or children, has the automatic right to make decisions on your behalf. This can lead to stressful delays and costly court applications for families.

This February, for Power of Attorney Month, we’re supporting The Dementia Trust’s Planning Ahead campaign. For every POA instructed, we’ll donate £50 to support people living with dementia and their families.

👉Here are some of the most frequently asked questions we get about powers of attorney.
