live in England

You cannot get a free blood pressure check if you:

What happens when you get your blood pressure checked

A pharmacist, or member of the pharmacy team, will wrap a blood pressure cuff around your upper arm to measure your blood pressure. They will then share the result with you.

Depending on the result, they might:

give you advice to support healthy living
give you a blood pressure monitor to take home with you and return later
advise you to see a GP

If you’re registered with a GP surgery, your GP health record will be updated.
