A quick NHS blood pressure check for adults aged 40 and over, with your reading explained on the day and clear advice on what to do next.
High blood pressure rarely has symptoms, so a simple check is the only reliable way to know where you stand.
Your pharmacist talks you through your reading and what it means for your heart health.
If your reading is raised, we arrange follow-up monitoring or refer you to your GP practice.
If your clinic reading is raised, we can advise on next steps, which may include ambulatory blood pressure monitoring where appropriate.
Your pharmacist takes your blood pressure using a validated monitor, usually taking more than one reading so the result is accurate. The reading is explained to you straight away. If it is within a normal range, we advise when to check again. If it is raised, we can fit a 24 hour ambulatory monitor or refer you to your GP practice, so nothing is missed.
A quick visit that fits around your day, with no need to see a GP first.
Readings are taken in our consultation room so you are calm and the result is as accurate as possible.
