BackgroundThe COVID-19 pandemic led to the implementation of a national policy of shielding to safeguard clinically vulnerable patients. To ensure consistent care for high-risk patients with hypertension, NHS England introduced the BP@home initiative to enable patients to self-monitor their blood pressure by providing them with blood pressure monitors. This study aimed to identify barriers and facilitators to the implementation of the initiative based on the experience and perspectives of programme managers and healthcare professionals (HCPs) involved in its implementation in London.Methods and findingsWe conducted five semi-structured focus groups and one individual interview with a total of 20 healthcare professionals involved at different levels and stages in the BP@home initiative across four of the five London Integrated Care Systems (ICSs). All focus groups and interviews were audio-recorded, transcribed and analysed thematically following the Framework Method. Respondents reported being challenged by the lack of adequate IT, human and financial resources to support the substantial additional workload associated with the programme. These issues resulted in and reinforced the differential engagement capacities of PCNs, practices and patients, thus raising equity concerns among respondents. However respondents also identified several facilitators, including the integration of the eligibility criteria into the electronic health record (EHR), especially when combined with the adoption of practice-specific, pragmatic and opportunistic approaches to the onboarding of patients. Respondents also recommended the provision of blood pressure monitors (BPMs) on prescription, additional funding and training based on needs assessment, the incorporation of BP@home into daily practice and simplification of IT tools, and finally the adoption of a person-centred care approach. Contextualised using the second iteration of the Consolidated Framework for Implementation Research (CFIR), these findings support key evidence-based recommendations to help streamline the implementation of the BP@home initiative in London’s primary care setting.ConclusionsPrograms such as BP@Home are likely to become more common in primary care. To successfully support HCPs’ aim to care for their hypertensive patients, their implementation must be accompanied by additional financial, human and training resources, as well as supported task-shifting for capacity building. Future studies should explore the perspectives of HCPs based in other parts of the UK as well as patients’ experiences with remote monitoring of blood pressure.

By End-user Insights

The healthcare segment is estimated to witness significant growth during the forecast period.

The market caters to various sectors, with healthcare being a significant end-user. Regulations in this industry pose challenges for new entrants, yet they also ensure basic healthcare coverage and financial assistance for medical expenses under US government schemes like the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA). This increased healthcare spending on disease treatment and surgeries fuels the demand for face shields, essential for medical procedures and protecting against bodily fluids, infection, and contamination. Face shields provide respiratory and body protection for medical professionals and patients in hospitals and rural areas. Desirable features include lightweight materials, comfort, durability, and safety.

Materials like polycarbonate, cellulose acetate, and plastics are used to create face shields that are water-generated, recyclable, and meet the medical professionals' and patients' needs. The World Health Organization (WHO) emphasizes the importance of protective gear, including face shields, for healthcare workers (HCWs) to prevent contamination and disease transmission. Key industries, such as oil and gas, refining, and occupational safety, also utilize face shields for inhalational exposure protection. The market for face shields is driven by consumer preferences, advancements in medical procedures like minimally invasive surgeries, and technological innovation.
