Course Details:
Accurate blood pressure measurement is essential for safe and effective patient care. This nurse-led clinical training equips healthcare professionals with the confidence to measure, interpret, and record blood pressure accurately using both manual and automated devices.
This CPD-accredited course combines theory with hands-on practice, helping participants understand how the heart and circulatory system relate to blood pressure and identify common sources of error. Whether you work in a GP practice, care home, or NHS community setting, this course will help you maintain high standards of observation and contribute to improved patient safety and care quality.
Accurate blood pressure measurement is one of the simplest ways to prevent serious illness, yet more than five million people in England live with undiagnosed hypertension. This training empowers healthcare professionals to detect problems early and improve patient outcomes through precise, confident measurement.
