Introduction

GraphThe British Hypertension Society provides a medical and scientific research forum to enable sharing of cutting edge research in order to understand the origin of high blood pressure and improve its treatment.  An annual scientific meeting is held every September at a University Campus in the UK and Ireland.

Nurse checking blood pressure The British Hypertension Society has a track record of producing internationally renowned guidelines for the management of hypertension which are widely adopted in primary care in the UK and elsewhere. As part of our increasing engagement in improving blood pressure measurement we are now undertaking active validation of new blood pressure devices for the measurement of blood pressure.

The Society has also established an educational programme to support scientists, doctors and other healthcare workers involved in understanding the basis of high blood pressure and improving its treatment throughout the UK.

The BHS has completed a Strategic Review of current activities and future aims and objectives to guide development between 2010 and 2016. Click here to see the full document.
