Improve hypertension detection rates by overseeing the introduction of

digital tools/pods in practice waiting rooms that link patient data to the

medical records. These digital tools/pods will record blood pressure, heart

rate and BMI in the waiting rooms, at the convenience of registered patients.

Protocols will be developed that will ensure clinical safety and governance and

intervention will be triaged and reviewed by the most appropriate clinician,

whether this be a GP or a pharmacist.
