High blood pressure (hypertension) is one of the most important, treatable causes of ill health in the world. It is reported that high blood pressure affects 1 in 4 adults in England.
The majority of cases of high blood pressure are treated in the community by your GP. In our department, we run a specialist hypertension clinic for more challenging cases.
On this webpage, you will find information on the types of investigations you can expect when visiting the hypertension clinic and what treatments we offer. This includes lifestyle measures to combat your high blood pressure and ways you can monitor it yourself at home.
