NHS Cardio Vascular Checks

High blood pressure, also called hypertension, is a condition which can be controlled to reduce your risk of a heart attack, stroke or other cardiovascular disease.

In the UK there are about five million adults (one in every nine) who have high blood pressure without even knowing it, since high blood pressure itself rarely causes symptoms.

The British Heart Foundation estimates that high blood pressure causes over 50% of heart attacks and strokes.

What does this free NHS blood pressure check involve?

We are offering free NHS blood pressure checks to people aged 40 years and over who have previously not had a confirmed diagnosis of hypertension or who have been referred by their GP with no appointment necessary.

This involves a 10 minute appointment in the pharmacy consultation room with pharmacy staff.

Depending on your blood pressure reading you may be referred to your GP. The pharmacy staff will guide you through any necessary steps depending on your blood pressure result.

A straightforward, pain free and reliable check of your blood pressure is all it takes to find out more.
