Books by Nicholas Coni

Hugh Coni MBBS BSc MRCGP trained at the Charing Cross and Westminster Medical School, London, and then attended the Portsmouth GP training scheme.

Dr Coni is currently managing more than 270 people with hypertension, over 30 of whom choose to monitor their own blood pressure. Hypertension cases take up 13% of all his consultations and account for nearly 500 consultations per annum. Because of his interest and expertise, Dr Coni was invited to join the Information and Support Advisory Group to the Blood Pressure Association - the British 'forum for individuals whose lives are affected by blood pressure'. A period of serious illness at the outset of his career has given him a special insight into the experiences of his patients. Nicholas Coni MA FRCP (London & Canada) qualified from Cambridge University and Westminster Medical School, and after various hospital posts was appointed to the consultant staff at Addenbrooke's Hospital, Cambridge in 1970. After serving on the Health Authority, he became clinical director of the Department of Medicine for the Elderly. Dr Coni has authored many papers in medical journals and chapters of books on medical subjects. He also taught the medical students of Cambridge University. Now retired, he participates in the activities of the University of the Third Age in Cambridge (of which he was co-founder) and takes an interest in the management of his own hypertension.
