BHF Conversational Tool - Blood Pressure Checks

May 2016 the C&M five year cross sector strategy to tackle high BP "Saving lives: Reducing the pressure" was launched. The nationally and internationally recognised strategy sets out the vision, aims, objectives and high level action plan for prevention, detection and management of high BP. It aims to relieve the pressure on health and social care services by empowering healthier lifestyles and self-care. One key aim of the C&M BP Strategy is to develop innovative approaches to testing and treatment of new high blood pressure cases by working closely with key partners. It aims to shift the detection of raised BP into the community so that people can be managed in alternative venues, freeing clinical space for higher risk patients.
