Hypertension / Blood Pressure Checks

We offer blood pressure checks for adults of all ages, particularly those over 40 or with known risk factors.

High blood pressure often has no symptoms, but it is a major risk factor for heart attacks and strokes. Regular checks are a simple and effective way to detect any problems early and manage them appropriately.

Checks can be carried out by our Healthcare Assistant or Practice Nurse. In some cases, you may be asked to take readings at home or use a blood pressure monitor over a period of time to give a more accurate picture.

If your blood pressure is raised, we will discuss next steps with you, which may include lifestyle advice, further monitoring, or treatment where appropriate.
