Hypertension and dyslipidaemia frequently co-exist. It is not surprising, therefore, that the majority of hypertensive patients warrant consideration for concomitant lipid-lowering therapy.

The International Society of Nephrology (ISN) held the first in a series of Global Kidney Policy Forums on 21st April 2017 in Mexico City.

Certificate Course in Management of Hypertension (CCMH) is a joint certification programme designed and implemented by the Public Health Foundation of India (PHFI) in collaboration with the International Society of Hypertension (ISH), the British and Irish Hypertension Society (BIHS), and the Center for Chronic Disease Control (CCDC).

The Society welcomes membership from trainees, junior and established scientists, clinicians, health care providers and allied health care workers, all with a common interest in hypertension research.Different membership categories are offered for those at varying stages of their careers, to encourage involvement in the exciting global activities of the Society. These member categories range from Research Fellows, Emerging Leaders to longstanding Professional Members and Emeritus Fellows.

There is a critical need to establish and support high quality training programmes within low/middle income countries that can enhance the early careers of researchers in the basic science, clinical and public health areas of hypertension. To help meet this need, in 2016 the Society advertised that awards would be made available to mentors and organisations in low/middle income countries with the expertise and resources to offer fellowship training in hypertension disciplines to young investigators.
