Setting the UK research priorities for hypertension using a modified Delphi approach: a British and Irish Hypertension Society Initiative with Support from the British Heart Foundation Clinical Research Collaborative

This is the first structured, consensus-driven national initiative to recommend hypertension research priorities in the UK and Ireland. The resulting Top 10 reflect a shift towards person-centred research that emphasises implementation, digital innovation, and equity, alongside pharmacological and mechanistic studies. These priorities provide a roadmap for funders, policymakers, and researchers to address unmet clinical needs and improve outcomes for people living with hypertension.

Abstract

This is the first structured, consensus-driven national initiative to recommend hypertension research priorities in the UK and Ireland. The resulting Top 10 reflect a shift towards person-centred research that emphasises implementation, digital innovation, and equity, alongside pharmacological and mechanistic studies. These priorities provide a roadmap for funders, policymakers, and researchers to address unmet clinical needs and improve outcomes for people living with hypertension.
