Monitoring of blood pressure at home is a proven intervention to improve the accuracy and reproducibility of blood pressure measurement. The development and implementation of a training course on blood pressure measurement (PA) at home can enable patients to self-control their PA and ultimately reduce the patient-related clinical inertia and improve PA control.

The course on Domiciliary Monitoring of Arterial Pressure - Promoting self-measure, highlights (1) the importance of increased blood pressure, (2) the importance of using an appropriate technique of measuring blood pressure, (3) the process to correctly measure blood pressure in step-by-step home, (4) factors that may cause measurement errors, (5) the importance of measuring blood pressure in the home and (6) how to interpret blood pressure figures obtained in the home, and how to look for immediate follow-up.
