What Is the NHS Blood Pressure Check Service?
The NHS Blood Pressure Check Service helps identify people who may have high blood pressure, also known as hypertension.
High blood pressure often has no symptoms, but if left untreated, it can increase the risk of serious health conditions, including heart disease, stroke and kidney problems.
At Audley Mills Pharmacy, we provide free NHS blood pressure checks in a private consultation room with support from our trained pharmacy team.
