Some of the people you may have an appointment with in the practice:​

• General Practitioner (GP)​
• Nurse
• Healthcare Assistant (HCA)​
• Pharmacist​

If you are diagnosed with hypertension, you should have an annual review with a Nurse or Healthcare Assistant.

“Every year during your birthday month, you will receive a text to invite you to a hypertension review. Then you can call our reception to book an appointment. During the review, I will:

• Do a blood test
• Ask for a urine sample
• Measure blood pressure
• Take the pulse 
• Measure your height and weight

I will also ask whether you are taking the medication regularly and if there are any questions you would like to discuss.”
