THE International Pharmaceutical Federation (FIP) has launched a new Hypertension Pharmacy Toolkit, designed to support pharmacy teams in the prevention, early detection and management of hypertension.

The condition affects one in three adults worldwide, and contributes to over 10 million deaths each year.

The toolkit equips community pharmacy teams with practical resources to identify at-risk patients, deliver motivational counselling and collaborate effectively with prescribers to improve patient outcomes.

“This toolkit was developed to motivate and enable community pharmacy teams to establish or strengthen hypertension assessment and management programs in their communities, building on their accessibility and expertise in medication management and lifestyle counselling,” said Dr Ines Nunes da Cunha, FIP Practice Development Manager – the toolkit is HERE.
