Hypertension Clinic
Patient information
We care for and treat people with high blood pressure.
What we do
We see people with primary high blood pressure, or secondary high blood pressure caused by other diseases such as kidney or blood vessel diseases.
Most people with high blood pressure can be managed by their GP, however we specialise in treating people who have not responded to usual treatment, such as medication.
