Following a screening survey for hypertension in Renfrew, a blood pressure clinic was established in a health centre. Three hospital doctors, each working an average of two sessions weekly, saw 368 patients. A specially trained nurse played an important part in the running of the clinic. Attendance of patients was high, and defaulting amongst those needing treatment was low. Blood pressures were well controlled in 75% of the patients. The clinic has proved an acceptable method of managing large numbers of hypertensives without reference to hospital.
在伦弗鲁进行高血压筛查调查后,在一个健康中心设立了血压诊所。三名医院医生,每人平均每周工作两个班次,共接待了368名患者。一名经过专门培训的护士在诊所的运营中发挥了重要作用。患者的就诊率很高,需要治疗的患者中的违约率很低。75%的患者血压得到了良好控制。事实证明,该诊所是一种无需转诊至医院就能管理大量高血压患者的可接受方法。
