Abstract:
The inclusion of blood pressure measurements in the routine health appraisal of junior school children was acceptable to children and staff and did not create undue anxiety. Of 677 children only 9 (1.33%) required follow up, 2 being referred to hospital out patients. With appropriate support school nurses should be encouraged to measure blood pressure.
