Tackling Hypertension Head-On Miniseries (Part 8)
We all know what best-practice hypertension management looks like. But what happens when you have an overflowing waiting room, patients with multiple competing health issues, and hypertension is just one of many priorities? With only around 3 in 10 Australians treated for hypertension achieving blood pressure control, how can GPs make meaningful improvements in everyday practice?
In this practical interview we talk about real-world strategies that can help overcome common barriers, including treatment inertia, implementing automated office blood pressure monitoring (AOBP), using practice audits and recall systems, and simplifying treatment with single-pill combinations (SPCs). If you’re looking for practical ideas that can be implemented in a busy general practice, this interview is well worth a listen.
