Jess’s Rule
Three strikes and we rethink
Bennetts End Surgery is supporting Jess’s Rule.
Jess’s Rule is a primary care initiative to encourage GP teams to rethink a diagnosis if a patient presents three times with the same symptoms or concerns, particularly if symptoms unexpectedly persist, escalate, or remain unexplained.
This is especially important if symptoms:
- Do not go away as expected
- Get worse over time
- Do not have a clear explanation
The idea is simple: three visits are a sign that something might need another look.
