Welcome to this collection of learning and assessment on the topic of hypertension. Hypertension is one of the most important preventable causes of premature morbidity and mortality in the UK. It is a major risk factor for stroke, heart attack, heart failure, kidney disease and cognitive decline. However, it may be managed effectively with lifestyle interventions and appropriate medicines. At least one quarter of adults (and more than half of those older than 60) have high blood pressure. Those who do often have no symptoms. This may introduce challenges with taking medicines when multiple medicines are prescribed. Pharmacy professionals in all sectors have an important role to play in the prevention, identification and management of hypertension. Here you will find several types of learning resource including learning programmes, guidelines and helpful tools which you can apply to your pharmacy practice. The learning will help you to feel confident in raising the awareness of hypertension and supporting patients in making healthy lifestyle choices. Being up-to-date with the clinical guidelines will support discussions around medicines options, and aid the shared decision-making process. Take a look at the resources now to find out how you can develop your practice.
This learning programme aims to enable you to interpret and apply clinical guidance to support people with hypertension. You will consider how to optimise their treatment and use a shared decision-making approach to empower people with hypertension to self-manage their condition.

The aim of this e-learning programme is to provide you with a better understanding of vascular risk and the NHS health check programme.
It looks at the health policy surrounding the NHS health check programme and how it is commissioned. This learning defines cardiovascular risk and looks at some of the different assessment tools available and how these are used to estimate an individual’s cardiovascular risk.
It looks at the importance of communication with patients about their modifiable risk factors. Information on how to perform the NHS health check has been included and how to embed clinical governance into your NHS health check service.

Learning Outcomes:
On completion of this learning programme you should be able to:The aim of this e-course is to develop your knowledge and skills in cardiovascular therapeutics. This will enable you to provide a person-centred approach to support the healthcare of people living with or at higher risk of cardiovascular disease. It is designed for pharmacy professionals working in all areas of practice.
To facilitate your learning, we have structured the course into seven units. Some units are larger than others, but we estimate that you will need to commit an average of three hours of learning for each unit.

This e-assessment is linked with the CPPE Hypertension focal point programme and assesses you on the learning outcomes within that programme.
Why should I do this assessment?
This e-assessment completes the learning you began with the CPPE Hypertension programme. Access and successful completion will contribute to your own personal development plan, be recorded in your My CPPE record and will enable you to complete a CPD entry on the learning. It may also provide evidence that you need for the different competency frameworks that apply across your career.This e-assessment is linked with the CPPE Vascular risk and the NHS health check programme and assesses you on the learning outcomes within that programme.
