Measuring Blood Pressure Correctly | NICE NG136 Hypertension Guidance (UK) Accurate blood pressure measurement is critical for diagnosing and managing hypertension — yet small errors can significantly alter readings. In this video, we explain how to measure blood pressure correctly in line with NICE NG136 (Hypertension in Adults) and highlight common mistakes that can lead to misdiagnosis or inappropriate treatment. We cover: Correct patient positioning and preparation Manual vs automated devices (and when manual is essential) Why both arms must be measured initially How to interpret inter-arm differences (more than 15 mmHg) When to repeat measurements When to offer ABPM or HBPM to confirm diagnosis Diagnostic thresholds for clinic, ABPM, and HBPM readings When an urgent referral is required This session is designed for GP pharmacists, independent prescribers, and primary care clinicians who want to ensure accurate, defensible, and guideline-compliant blood pressure assessment.
