Hypertension is also known as High Blood Pressure.
High blood pressure often causes no symptoms, or immediate problems. But it is a major risk factor for developing cardiovascular disease (conditions that affect the functioning of the heart and the circulation of blood around the body), such as a stroke or heart disease.
Our Hypertension Service aims to improve cardiovascular outcomes for patients who already have established hypertension or are newly diagnosed. Patients whose blood pressure (BP) are not on target are offered remote monitoring of their blood pressure. This can be done using an app or a home BP diary. BP Results received are reviewed by a clinician during the patient’s hypertension clinic appointment. These appointments can be via telephone or face to face.
Routine appointment for review (blood and urine tests, Blood pressure, weight, etc.), once a year around the birth month, is also offered for all patients with established hypertension.
We are offering our patients digital monitoring options using the Luscii app, which will support them with the remote management of hypertension.
