What this service involves
You will have your blood pressure measured in a private consultation room. We will ask a few questions about your health, medicines, and lifestyle, then explain your reading in plain language. You will leave knowing whether your result is in a healthy range and what, if anything, to do next.
A few quiet minutes
You will sit comfortably while the reading is taken, so the result reflects your usual blood pressure.
A conversation about you
We cover medicines, family history, and lifestyle so the advice fits your situation.
