ADVICE TO RESPONDENTS ON BLOOD PRESSURE READING:

IF Systolic reading >179 OR Diastolic reading >114 THEN:

TICK THE CONSIDERABLY RAISED BOX AND READ OUT TO RESPONDENT: Your blood pressure is high today. Blood pressure can vary from day to day and throughout the day so that one high reading does not necessarily mean that you suffer from high blood pressure. You are strongly advised to visit your GP within 5 days to have a further blood pressure reading to see whether this is a once-off finding or not.
NURSE: IF RESPONDENT IS ELDERLY, ADVISE HIM/HER TO CONTACT GP WITHIN NEXT 7-10 DAYS.

IF Systolic reading 160-179 OR Diastolic reading 100-114 THEN:

TICK THE RAISED BOX AND READ OUT TO RESPONDENT: Your blood pressure is a bit high today. Blood pressure can vary from day to day and throughout the day so that one high reading does not necessarily mean that you suffer from high blood pressure. You are advised to visit your GP within 2-3 weeks to have a further blood pressure reading to see whether this is a once-off finding or not.

IF Systolic reading 140-159 OR Diastolic reading 85-99 THEN:

TICK THE MILDLY RAISED BOX AND READ OUT TO RESPONDENT: Your blood pressure is a bit high today. Blood pressure can vary from day to day and throughout the day so that one high reading does not necessarily mean that you suffer from high blood pressure. You are advised to visit your GP within 3 months to have a further blood pressure reading to see whether this is a once-off finding or not.

IF Systolic reading <140 AND Diastolic reading <85 THEN:

TICK THE NORMAL BOX AND READ OUT TO RESPONDENT: Your blood pressure is normal.
