Lay summary
This project intends to support PC clinicians in identifying patients who may have hypertension. Following, the project will support GPs to engage with those patients to identify whether they have HT and, if so, seek to provide ongoing care.
Public benefit statement
It is estimated that there are ~150k people in NWL who have hypertension but have not been diagnosed and, therefore, are not receiving care required to reduce the risk of future ill health (stroke, cardiac arrests etc). This project seeks to identify those people at higher risk, and invite them to engage with healthcare practitioners to test for hypertension. For those identified, healthcare practitioners can then discuss with them appropriate healthcare and lifestyle interventions. For those patients who are identified and receive ongoing treatment, their risk of future ill-health will be reduced, providing direct patient benefit.
