Health Promotion Activity

A questionnaire concerning blood pressure assessment, as part of health promotion activity, was circulated to all 770 Gpass practices in Scotland producing a 64.6% response rate. The results reveal a wide range in both the systolic and diastolic levels chosen to classify blood pressure as normal, borderline raised or raised. Practices are using a variety of values to indicate hypertension when considering systolic and, to a lesser extent, diastolic pressure. The variations found suggest that both over and under treatment are a significant risk to patients. The introduction of the 1993 health promotion regulations means that practices are required to actively target their practice population for blood pressure assessment and appropriate intervention. We suggest that this process will be enhanced if doctors are encouraged to adopt the established guidelines for the classification of blood pressure or general practice computer software is adapted to offer blood pressure protocol support.
