Use this service to find a pharmacy that offers free blood pressure checks. You can get your blood pressure checked at a pharmacy without seeing a GP.

Who can get a free blood pressure check

You can get a free blood pressure check if you:

are aged 40 or over
live in England

You cannot get a free blood pressure check if you:

already have high blood pressure
have had your blood pressure checked by a healthcare professional in the past 6 months

What happens when you get your blood pressure checked

A pharmacist, or member of the pharmacy team, will wrap a blood pressure cuff around your upper arm to measure your blood pressure. They will then share the result with you.

Depending on the result, they might:

give you advice to support healthy living
give you a blood pressure monitor to take home with you and return later
advise you to see a GP

If you're registered with a GP surgery, your blood pressure reading will be added to your GP health record. It will not be shared with anyone unless your blood pressure is very high or very low and you need urgent medical help.
