Hypertension Case-Finding Service – resources update

PSNC has published several additional resources to support community pharmacy contractors who are providing or planning to provide the Hypertension Case-Finding Service, which became a new Advanced service on 1st October 2021:

• A GP letter / email service notification template to support contractors to notify general practice teams that the pharmacy will be providing the service;
• A PSNC Briefing for general practice teams to provide information for general practice teams on the new service and to assist contractors to engage with their local general practice colleagues;
• To support with promotion of the service, resources include a poster, digital marketing resources, small flyers to use on prescription bags, and a template patient leaflet;
• A reference guide to support with clinic blood pressure checks; and
• A patient leaflet to support provision of readings.

Contractors can also access the on-demand webinar and slide deck as well as a range of Frequently Asked Questions that have been answered following the webinar.

All of the above resources as well as further information on the service can be found on the PSNC Hypertension-Case Finding Service hub page.
