What is Jess’s Rule?

Under Jess’s Rule, GP teams are encouraged to pause and re-evaluate a diagnosis if a patient presents three times with the same or worsening symptoms.

🔹 If symptoms continue or escalate, we take another look
🔹 We review the diagnosis and consider whether further investigation is needed
🔹 We ensure concerns are not dismissed if they persist

Jess’s Rule supports GP teams in managing unclear or ongoing symptoms. It aims to improve quality of care and reduce the risk of missed or delayed diagnoses — including serious conditions such as cancer or sepsis.

Most importantly:

🔹 We listen carefully to your symptoms and concerns
🔹 We recognise that you are the expert in your own body
🔹 Your voice matters in decision-making about your care

Early detection through routine Breast Screening remains the most effective way to catch breast cancer at its earliest, most treatable stage, often before any physical symptoms even appear!

If you are a woman between the ages of 50 and 70, you will be invited for an NHS breast screening every three years, a quick and vital appointment that could quite literally save your life. A mammogram takes a few minutes and offers peace of mind. It can give the best chance for successful treatment.

Please don't wait for symptoms to appear, and ensure you attend your appointment when your invitation arrives from the Avon Breast Screening team. If you have missed your Breast Screening appointment, you can still attend.

To book your appointment please call 0117 414 7070 or please visit the NHS website.
