Blood Pressure Checks

If you're concerned about your blood pressure or would like to monitor your heart health, our pharmacy offers convenient NHS Blood Pressure Checks. High blood pressure (hypertension) often has no symptoms, making regular checks one of the best ways to identify potential problems early and reduce the risk of serious health conditions such as heart disease and stroke.

Our trained pharmacy team will measure your blood pressure, explain your results, and provide advice on any next steps, including lifestyle changes or further assessment where appropriate.

What happens during your appointment?

During your appointment, one of our trained pharmacy team members will:

• Measure your blood pressure using a clinically approved monitor

• Explain what your reading means

• Discuss any factors that may affect your blood pressure

• Provide healthy lifestyle advice where appropriate

• Recommend further monitoring, including Ambulatory Blood Pressure Monitoring (ABPM), or refer you to your GP if needed

The appointment is quick, straightforward and carried out in a private consultation room.
