This comprehensive training programme is designed to provide healthcare professionals with the knowledge and skills required to accurately measure and interpret manual blood pressure.

The workshop covers the basics of blood pressure, the significance of systolic and diastolic pressures, and the proper techniques for manual measurement. Practical training ensures participants gain hands-on experience and confidence in their skills.

At the PMA we pride ourselves on the understanding that one size doesn’t fit all and – therefore, we have various formats of our workshops and can adapt any programme / agenda to suit your local needs and necessaries – so, please get in touch to discuss your requirements.
