In this working structure, nursing represents an important supporting pillar, as it participates in 50% of the actions. The nurse's work consist of attending the patients in preconsultation, consultation and pos-consultation procedures; talking part in the team meetings with the patients (The Hypertension Club); drawing up and carrying out research projects and coordinating the team's efforts.
