Conclusion

Better identification and management of hypertension will reduce the mortality and morbidity associated with CVD. Community pharmacy teams are ideally placed to support primary care in the identification of people with undiagnosed hypertension through blood pressure checking and case finding.

By building on the relationships with local GPs and primary care networks, community pharmacy has an important role to play in reducing the impact of high blood pressure on customers and patients.
