Blood Pressure Check Service

The NHS Community Pharmacy Blood Pressure Check Service supports risk identification and prevention of cardiovascular disease (CVD).

This service will:

• identify people over the age of 40 who have previously not been diagnosed with hypertension (high blood pressure), and to refer those with suspected hypertension for appropriate management.
• promote healthy behaviours to service users.
• undertake ad hoc clinic and ambulatory blood pressure measurements at the request of general practice.
