The feasibility of blood pressure measurement by general practice pharmacists was examined in nine pharmacies. Two hundred and fifteen subjects were screened and 13 were referred to their general practitioners. Ten subjects (five per cent of the initial sample) were confirmed to be hypertensive by their doctors. The upper limits of normotension were 160/100 mmHg aged up to 50 years, 160/105 mmHg aged 51-60 years and a diastolic pressure of 110 mmHg over 60 years. Ninety-eight per cent of a sample of the lay public who completed a written questionnaire were in favour of blood pressure measurement by pharmacists. The study showed that general practice pharmacists were able to measure blood pressure within acceptable limits of accuracy and that, with the collaboration of general practitioners, the pharmacies were suitable agencies for screening for hypertension.
在九家药店对全科药剂师测量血压的可行性进行了研究。筛查了215名受试者，其中13人被转诊至他们的全科医生处。有10名受试者（占初始样本的5%）被医生确诊为高血压患者。血压正常上限为：50岁及以下人群收缩压/舒张压为160/100mmHg，51 - 60岁人群为160/105mmHg，60岁以上人群舒张压为110mmHg。完成书面调查问卷的普通公众样本中有98%赞成药剂师测量血压。该研究表明，全科药剂师能够在可接受的准确范围内测量血压，并且在全科医生的协作下，药店是筛查高血压的合适机构。
