  • planning care for women at moderate and high risk of pre-eclampsia
  • assessment of proteinuria and care plans
  • chronic hypertension: pre-pregnancy advice
  • chronic hypertension: antenatal care
  • gestational hypertension: antenatal care
  • intrapartum care and place of care
  • criteria for choice of critical care level (hypertension, pre-eclampsia and eclampsia)
  • follow-up care and postnatal review
  • antihypertensive treatment during the postnatal period
  • risk of long-term cardiovascular disease
