Abstract
Despite the demonstrated acceptability and feasibility of the intervention, the ongoing sustainability of the model rests largely upon overcoming the organisational, educational and professional barriers that constrain the GPN's role. Findings demonstrate great potential for GPNs to significantly contribute to improved health outcomes and play a more active role in hypertension management. This role could be optimised with the development of motivational interviewing skills, enhanced GP/GPN collaborative practice and increased opportunity for consumer follow up.
