Free on the NHS

Blood pressure checks

A quick check that could help spot high blood pressure early, before it causes problems.

Why it matters

Know your numbers

High blood pressure often has no symptoms, so many people do not know they have it. Left untreated, it raises the risk of heart attacks and strokes.

If you are aged 40 or over and have not been told you have high blood pressure, you can have a free check with us on the NHS.

  • Free for adults aged 40 and over
  • Takes around 10 minutes
  • Results explained there and then
