A new charity, the Blood Pressure Association (BPA), wants to find a pharmacist to help with providing information and support for hypertensives and their families.
The BPA is setting up an information and support advisory group comprising various health professionals with knowledge of, and an interest in, hypertension.
The advisory group is to include a pharmacist, a general medical practitioner and a practice nurse, among others. The purpose of the group will be to influence and guide the information provided by the charity. Posts on the group will be voluntary and unpaid.
