Free Blood Pressure Check at Pharmacy

A new service finder on NHS.uk allows patients to search for and find a pharmacy that offers free blood pressure checks.

The tool explains who is eligible to go to a pharmacy to get their blood pressure checked and can be searched using a postcode, with the nearest pharmacy listed first. 

Blood pressure conditions pages on NHS.UK have also been updated to signpost to the blood pressure pharmacy finder.

  • Private sick notes
  • Vaccination certificates
