Reasons people commonly get a blood pressure check include:

• A family history of high blood pressure or heart disease

A single blood pressure reading is not a diagnosis of hypertension.

A single reading is a screening tool, not a full diagnostic cardiovascular assessment.

Here’s what happens during your visit:

• Walk in during opening hours —no appointment necessary.
• A quick check using acalibrated device, taking just a few minutes.
• Your pharmacist explains theresult and any recommended next steps.

How often should I get checked?

This depends on your individual risk factors - ask your pharmacist of GP for a recommendation suited to you.

How accurate is a pharmacy blood pressure check?

Pharmacy devices are regularly calibrated, but a single reading is a screening tool, not a full diagnosis.

What happens if my reading is high?

Your pharmacist will recommend you follow up with your GP, particularly if the reading is significantly elevated or you have symptoms.
