As a result of our participation in the @ReverseStudy we have made a few simple changes. One of these is helping to raise awareness about our automated BP machine at the practice...aswell as other plans afoot #serviceevaluation #qualityimprovement

Background and study aims People with raised blood pressure (range 120-139/80-89 mmHg) are at increased risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) related conditions as well as high blood pressure (hypertension) itself. Around 40% of adults have raised blood pressure. Raised blood pressure lies between normal (<120/80 mmHg) and high (≥140/90 mmHg) blood pressure. While raised blood pressure does not require drug intervention, discussions with patients, the public, and health care professionals (HCPs) have identified this as an area that merits investigation. Of importance is the identification of effective preventative initiatives to manage raised blood pressure to try to prevent the development of high blood pressure and CVD.
