NHS blood pressure checks,
close to home.
A convenient blood pressure check, with your result explained by your local pharmacy team.
A simple check. A useful conversation.
A blood pressure check can identify readings that need further attention. Our team takes your reading in a private consultation area, explains what it means and advises on any follow-up.
Who can use the NHS service?
The service is mainly for adults aged 40 or over who have not already been diagnosed with high blood pressure. Some other patients may be eligible, including those referred by a GP. The pharmacy will confirm suitability.

Before your check
If possible, avoid caffeine, smoking and vigorous exercise for 30 minutes beforehand. Wear clothing that allows access to your upper arm.
Follow-up matters
