Whitmore Pharmacy - Basildon in BASILDON (SS14 2HB) provides the official NHS Community Pharmacy Blood Pressure Check Service at 418 WHITMORE WAY. Our pharmacist uses a clinically validated arm cuff in a private consultation room to measure your blood pressure and heart rhythm.
High blood pressure (hypertension) rarely causes symptoms, yet it is one of the leading causes of stroke, heart attacks, kidney disease, and vascular dementia. The only way to know your numbers is to get checked regularly.
If your clinic reading is elevated, we can fit you with a free 24-hour ambulatory blood pressure monitor (ABPM) to measure your blood pressure throughout your daily routine.
An adult aged 40 or over who does not have an existing diagnosis of hypertension
Under 40 with a strong family history, or already diagnosed and monitored by your GP
Adults under 40 can also be checked at pharmacist discretion if there is a known family history of early heart disease.
You sit quietly for a few minutes in our private consultation room to allow your resting heart rate to settle.
A comfortable cuff is placed around your upper arm and inflated to take accurate readings.
The pharmacist explains your systolic and diastolic numbers and provides lifestyle advice or ABPM setup if needed.
Depending on your blood pressure numbers, the pharmacist will provide one of the following:
Personalised advice on maintaining healthy blood pressure, with a reminder to recheck in 1-2 years.
A lightweight monitor to take home for 24 hours to confirm whether you have true hypertension.
We send your validated readings securely to your NHS GP for clinical follow-up or medication review.
For more information, see the NHS blood pressure page.
Avoid caffeine, smoking, and vigorous exercise for 30 minutes before your test. Wear a loose top with sleeves that easily roll up.
The check and any follow-up 24-hour ambulatory monitoring (ABPM) are completely free on the NHS for all eligible adults aged 40 and over.
