Hi everyone,

My name is Tessa and I'm working on research with the Department of General Practice at the University of Melbourne on how patients feel about the way certain blood pressure medications are prescribed.

We are looking for people on ACE inhibitors (medications ending in ‘pril’ or brand names such as Coversyl, Tritace, or Renitec) to take part in a 20–30 minute phone interview about the way your GP prescribes blood pressure medication.

This research will help GPs and policymakers who want to reduce costs to the healthcare system and help prescribe blood pressure medication more safely and effectively.

If you or anyone you know may be interested, you can contact me at tmarshall@student.unimelb.edu.au or call 0448 452 365.

Thanks everyone!

Update: thank you everyone who has contacted us about this study - we have had an overwhelming response and are happy to say we have almost finished with recruitment!

We are still looking for people under the age of 40 who are taking ACE inhibitors to participate in the study - if that's you and you'd like to take part, follow this link:
