High Blood Pressure Prevention

High blood pressure (hypertension) doesn’t just appear overnight. It builds slowly - often with no symptoms - silently increasing your risk of serious health problems like stroke, heart attack, kidney disease, and dementia.

But the good news is that in most cases, high blood pressure can be prevented or delayed.
And prevention starts with understanding your personal risk and making simple, sustainable changes.

Referral Centres

Hypertension referral centres in the UK offer specialised care for managing high blood pressure, often serving as tertiary referral centres for patients with complex cases or those with difficult-to-control hypertension. Several hospitals and clinics across the UK have established hypertension referral services. These centres provide a comprehensive approach to hypertension management, including specialist training, clinical research, and inpatient care for hypertensive emergencies.
