A version of the FIP Hypertension Toolkit focusing on uncontrolled hypertension, one of the leading risk factors for cardiovascular disease, is shared today.

The toolkit empowers community pharmacists and their teams to identify and manage patients with uncontrolled hypertension through motivational counselling, timely interventions, and ongoing support. It provides practical tools, such as an educational guide, assessment tool, patient leaflet, and referral letter to help integrate blood pressure management into pharmacy practice and strengthen collaboration with other healthcare professionals.

In addition, a CPD Bite supports pharmacy teams in establishing or enhancing community-based hypertension services and delivering person-centred care.
