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

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 GP health record will be updated.
