Abstract

In the UK, most adults with hypertension are managed in Primary Care. Referrals to Secondary Care Hypertension Specialists are targeted to patients in whom further investigations are likely to change management decisions. In this position statement the British and Irish Hypertension Society provide clinicians with a framework for referring patients to Hypertension Specialists. Additional therapeutic advice is provided to optimise patient management whilst awaiting specialist review. Our aim is to ensure that referral criteria to Hypertension Specialists are consistent across the UK and Ireland to ensure equitable access for all patients.

成人高血压转诊途径和治疗管理：英国和爱尔兰高血压学会立场声明。

在英国，大多数成人高血压患者都在初级医疗机构接受治疗。转诊至二级医疗机构高血压专科医生的目标是那些通过进一步检查有可能改变治疗决定的患者。在这份立场声明中，英国和爱尔兰高血压学会为临床医生提供了将患者转诊至高血压专科医生的框架。在等待专科医生复查期间，我们将提供额外的治疗建议，以优化患者管理。我们的目标是确保英国和爱尔兰高血压专科医生的转诊标准一致，以确保所有患者都能公平就诊。

期刊介绍： Journal of Human Hypertension is published monthly and is of interest to health care professionals who deal with hypertension (specialists, internists, primary care physicians) and public health workers. We believe that our patients benefit from robust scientific data that are based on well conducted clinical trials. We also believe that basic sciences are the foundations on which we build our knowledge of clinical conditions and their management. Towards this end, although we are primarily a clinical based journal, we also welcome suitable basic sciences studies that promote our understanding of human hypertension. The journal aims to perform the dual role of increasing knowledge in the field of high blood pressure as well as improving the standard of care of patients. The editors will consider for publication all suitable papers dealing directly or indirectly with clinical aspects of hypertension, including but not limited to epidemiology, pathophysiology, therapeutics and basic sciences involving human subjects or tissues. We also consider papers from all specialties such as ophthalmology, cardiology, nephrology, obstetrics and stroke medicine that deal with the various aspects of hypertension and its complications.
