Blood Pressure Check (NHS)

Free NHS Blood Pressure Checks in Medway, Sittingbourne, Sheppey & Kent

NHS Pharmacy Blood Pressure Service – Helping You Stay Heart Healthy

Are you over 40 and living in Gillingham, Chatham, Rainham, Rochester, Strood, Sittingbourne, Sheppey or anywhere across Kent? You may be eligible for a free NHS blood pressure check at our local pharmacy.

We are proud to offer the NHS Hypertension Case-Finding Service, helping residents detect high blood pressure (also known as hypertension) early—before it leads to serious health issues like heart attacks, strokes, or kidney problems.

This quick, simple and free service is available without needing a GP appointment.

What’s Included in the Free NHS Blood Pressure Service?

Our trained pharmacy team will:

  • Measure your blood pressure in a private consultation room

  • Offer 24-hour ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (ABPM) if your reading is high

  • Refer you to your GP if needed, with a full report of your results

We make it easy for residents in Medway, Sittingbourne, Sheppey and wider Kent to monitor and manage their heart health—at no cost.

Who Can Get a Free NHS Blood Pressure Check?

This service is for:

  • Adults aged 40 and over without a recent BP check

  • Adults under 40 with a family history of hypertension

  • People referred to us by a GP or other healthcare professional

  • Registered carers and others with cardiovascular risk factors

24-Hour Blood Pressure Monitoring (ABPM)

If your initial in-clinic blood pressure reading is raised, we may recommend 24-hour monitoring. This involves wearing a small, portable device that checks your blood pressure throughout the day and night, giving more accurate results.

This is particularly useful for confirming white coat hypertension or identifying consistently high blood pressure that may need treatment.

Why Check Your Blood Pressure?

  • Around 1 in 3 UK adults have high blood pressure—many without symptoms

  • Untreated hypertension increases your risk of serious health problems

  • The test is quick, free, and could save your life

  • Early detection allows you to take steps to lower your risk naturally or with treatment
