BP 5.1 Rationale
For most patients a target of 140/85 is recommended. However,
the British Hypertension Society suggests an audit standard of 150/90 which
has been adopted for the QOF. For patients with diabetes mellitus, see DM30
and DM31. For patients with chronic kidney disease,
see CKD3.
BP 5.2 Reporting and verification
The practice reports the percentage of patients on their hypertension
register whose last recorded blood pressure is 150/90 or less. This blood pressure
reading must have been measured in the preceding nine months.
