NHS Free Blood Pressure Check in BASILDON

About this service at Whitmore Pharmacy - Basildon

High blood pressure (hypertension) rarely has noticeable symptoms, which is why it is widely known as a 'silent killer'. If left untreated, persistently elevated blood pressure significantly increases your risk of serious cardiovascular events, including heart attacks, strokes, vascular dementia, heart failure, and chronic kidney disease. The NHS Community Pharmacy Blood Pressure Check Service is an official NHS-commissioned clinical initiative based on NICE clinical guideline NG136. During this free appointment, an NHS-accredited pharmacist measures your blood pressure in a private consultation room using a clinically validated, calibrated electronic monitor. If an elevated reading is detected, the pharmacist can immediately offer Ambulatory Blood Pressure Monitoring (ABPM) — wearing a cuff that automatically measures blood pressure over 24 hours during normal daily activities — and coordinate directly with your GP surgery for ongoing management.
