Improving patient outcomes through best practice blood pressure assessment
Research highlights GPs uncertainty regarding the best way to measure, record and interpret blood pressure, whether the average, the lowest or the out-of-clinic blood pressure should be used for interpretation, accuracy and representativeness of individual blood pressure readings.
This interactive, case based online learning module has been designed to help health practitioners, particularly GPs improve accuracy in identifying elevated blood pressure in their patients as well as better interpret the results of both in-clinic and out-of-clinic assessments.
