Why Regular Blood Pressure Checks Matter

High blood pressure rarely causes symptoms. Most people who have it feel completely fine, which is why it goes undetected for years in so many adults.

Left unmanaged, it puts serious strain on your heart, kidneys, and arteries. It’s one of the leading causes of strokes and heart attacks in the UK.

A quick check at your local pharmacy takes minutes. Catching it early means you have real options before it causes damage.

Who Is Eligible for an NHS Blood Pressure Check?

The NHS blood pressure check service is open to a wide range of adults in and around Brentwood. You don’t need a GP appointment to access it.

Your Blood Pressure Reading Explained

Diastolic (bottom number)
90 to 120 mmHg
60 to 80 mmHg
120 to 139 mmHg

What to Expect During Your Appointment

Your appointment is relaxed and takes around 10 to 15 minutes in total. You’ll sit quietly for a few minutes before the reading is taken, which helps get an accurate result.

Our pharmacist or prescriber will ask a few brief questions about your health history and any medications you’re currently taking. The cuff is placed on your upper arm and the reading takes seconds.

What a friendly and helpful chemists. Telephoned them. Needed an urgent flu jab. Told to come down any time. 2 minute journey and walked through the door. The staff were friendly and the jab was painless. We are losing our real local community chemists and so if you live local use it or lose it. 👍👍👍

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need to make an appointment for an NHS blood pressure check at Ingrave Pharmacy?

Booking ahead is recommended to avoid a wait. You can book online or call us on 01277 229203 to arrange a convenient time.

The full appointment, including your reading and a brief discussion of the results, takes around 10 to 15 minutes from start to finish.

Try to avoid caffeine, smoking, and exercise for at least 30 minutes beforehand. Sitting quietly for a few minutes before the reading also helps produce a more accurate result.

If your reading is high and a referral is appropriate, we’ll advise you to follow up with your GP and can provide a written summary to support that conversation.

If you have a confirmed hypertension diagnosis and are already on treatment, this NHS service is not intended for ongoing monitoring. Your GP or prescriber would manage that. Speak to us if you’re unsure and we’ll point you in the right direction.
