Key result
Clinicians report substantial time gaps for delivering guideline-recommended hypertension care.
Real-world clinician time constraints present a substantial gap in the ability to deliver optimal hypertension care as required by guidelines, suggesting a need for adequate health-system resources.
Time constraints may impede guideline hypertension care; leaves open optimal health-system resource solutions.
This international survey demonstrates substantial perceived gaps between available and required time for several components of hypertension care, particularly in general practice. These findings highlight the importance of considering real-world clinician time constraints in the development and prioritisation of hypertension guideline recommendations and suggest that adequate health-system resources are needed to support their implementation.
