Join Dr Austin May as he facilitates a conversation on hypertension management in the primary care setting. He will be with Dr Stephen Moore, Professor Neil Smart and Ingrid Sivertsen.
Hypertension is a significant threat to population health. Globally, high blood pressure is directly linked to more than 8.5 million deaths every year.*
Hypertension is consistently one of the most accessed HealthPathways for North Coast practitioners and it typically ranks high in the Healthy North Coast CPD Needs Assessment.
The number of people with high blood pressure has doubled over the past 30 years, yet hypertension can be detected at the primary health care level and low-cost treatments can effectively control hypertension.
Healthy North Coast invites you to join this webinar to explore primary health care management of hypertension further. CPD points apply.
