This is an updated guideline from NICE on managing hypertension in adults published in Aug 2019.
The meat and bones of management is the same. There are a few small differences, which I’ll list below.
The biggest difference is that NICE encourage us to have much more of a discussion with patients about whether to start medication and what to start. Helpfully, they have provided some patient decision aids, which are really good.
"I am a huge fan of LocumDeck and the platform you’ve built is just fantastic. I used it a few years ago and returned to locuming again recently, and the platform has evolved into something even better. When I came back to locuming, I wasn’t sure how I'd find work, so I decided to turn on Instant Book and see what happened. Within 30 minutes, I was fully booked for the next month, I was delighted!"
