Blood pressure checks
High blood pressure often has no symptoms, so a quick check is the only way to know. If you're 40 or over, we can check yours for free in our private consultation room.
Who it's for
- Adults aged 40 and over who have not been diagnosed with high blood pressure
- People your GP practice has asked to have a check at a pharmacy
