  • 15 Lessons

This course is designed to complement mentorship for Pharmacists and Pharmacy Technicians managing patients with hypertension.

You’ll gain practical knowledge you can apply immediately—whether you're new to hypertension management or seeking to deepen your expertise.

Meet Your Pharmacy Mentor

Dear Colleagues,

Yes, the name is real—but sadly, I moonwalk through pharmacy, not music.

I'm Dr Michael Jackson, Lead Governance Pharmacist and specialist in cardiology and anticoagulation at East Kent Hospitals University Foundation Trust (EKHUFT).

I’m genuinely excited to welcome you to this collaborative platform—a partnership between Kent and Medway ICB and the brilliant clinical pharmacy team at EKHUFT.

This site is your go-to resource for practical, pharmacist-focused learning on hypertension. Whether you're a seasoned expert or still dodging the word “systolic,” I've designed the 2024 Hypertension for Pharmacy Professionals course with you in mind.

What’s inside?
A series of short, snackable video sessions—because no one wants a 3-hour lecture at 5pm. I recommend starting with Session 1 to get your bearings, and working your way up to the juicy case-based challenges in Session 9.

It’s 100% FREE and designed to complement the fantastic training you’re already doing. Plus, if you're part of the Kent and Medway Pharmacy CVD Network, you’ll also have access to our exclusive Teams community—where the real magic happens (and where you can ask the questions you’re afraid to say out loud).

So go ahead—scroll down, dive in, and let’s tackle hypertension together. Your patients (and their arteries) will thank you.

Warm regards,
Dr Michael Jackson
Lead Governance Pharmacist

Specialist Pharmacist in Cardiology and Anticoagulation
East Kent Hospitals University Foundation Trust
