Blood pressure assessment in community pharmacy: essential skills : CPPE

The First Blood pressure assessment in community pharmacy: essential skills : CPPE face to face workshop is taking place in Preston on Wednesday 4 June from 7pm to 9:30pm at Cotton Court Business Centre, Church Street, Preston, PR1 3BY. 

 

Developed in collaboration with the British and Irish Hypertension Society (BIHS), the event combines clinical expertise with practical, real-world application.

This new workshop supports pharmacy professionals at all stages – whether launching the service or looking to refine existing practice. It offers the opportunity to learn practical skills on using ABPM equipment, interpreting blood pressure readings, and managing consultations through a person-centred, shared decision-making approach.

Attendees will also benefit from learning how to train wider pharmacy teams, ensuring consistent delivery and embedding the service into everyday practice.

Key learning outcomes include:

  • Identifying eligible individuals for the service

  • Demonstrating and interpreting BP and ABPM assessments

  • Providing lifestyle advice and promoting behaviour change

  • Creating a team training plan

  • Using person-centred communication to build trust and engagement

With limited places available, early booking is recommended. CPPE encourages pharmacists, pharmacy technicians, and trainee pharmacists to attend and use this opportunity to network, upskill, and strengthen their contribution to public health through effective hypertension management.
