Quick answer
You can get a free NHS blood pressure check at Crewe Pharmacy, 139-141 Nantwich Road. The service is for adults aged 40 and over who have not recently had their blood pressure measured. The pharmacist takes the reading in a private space, explains what it means and advises whether any follow-up is needed. Walk in during pharmacy opening hours, or ring 01270 215837 to find a convenient time.
Why it matters
High blood pressure often has no symptoms, which is why it is sometimes called the silent condition. A simple check can pick it up early and help you take action. There is nothing to prepare — though it helps to sit quietly for a few minutes beforehand and to avoid caffeine just before your reading.
What happens next
- If your reading is normal, the pharmacist will let you know and suggest when to check again
- If it is raised, you may be offered a 24-hour ambulatory monitor to wear at home, which gives a fuller picture
- Where appropriate, the pharmacist will advise you to see your GP and share the results
