Blood Pressure Monitoring Service

Detect Early, Act Quickly – Prioritise Your Heart Health

High blood pressure, or hypertension, is a leading cause of cardiovascular disease (CVD) and one of the primary risk factors for disability and premature death in England. At Hollowood Chemists, our Blood Pressure Monitoring Service helps identify hypertension early, ensuring timely intervention to protect your health and well-being.

Things You Need to Know

Why Monitor Blood Pressure?

High blood pressure often has no symptoms but can lead to serious complications such as heart disease, stroke, and kidney problems.

Advanced Technology for Precision

Our service uses ambulatory blood pressure monitors (ABPM), which provide continuous readings over 24 hours for more accurate results.

Tailored Testing Criteria

We test individuals aged 40 and above or younger adults with a family history of hypertension or GP recommendation.

What Happens Next?

Based on your results, we provide lifestyle advice, initiate further monitoring, or refer you to a GP for appropriate care.

What Our Team Do

Proactive Identification

We identify patients who may benefit from blood pressure testing, considering age, risk factors, and medical history.

Initial Assessment

Our pharmacists measure your blood pressure in a comfortable, clinical setting using a standard blood pressure monitor.

Advanced Monitoring

If your initial reading is between 140/90mmHg and 180/120mmHg, we’ll provide you with an ABPM device for 24-hour monitoring.

Guided Next Steps

Based on results, we’ll offer advice, refer you to a GP within three weeks, or make an urgent same-day referral if necessary.
