Blood pressure checks in Oldham
A free blood pressure check for adults aged 40 and over, in our private consultation room. We share the result with your GP.
Why get checked
High blood pressure rarely causes symptoms, so many people don't know they have it. A quick check is the only way to find out.
What happens
- Sit quietly for a few minutes in our consultation room.
- We take a reading with a cuff on your upper arm.
- We explain what the result means.
- If it's raised, we may offer a 24-hour monitor or ask you to see your GP.
Common questions
Do I need to book?
No. Walk in, or call ahead if you'd like to choose a quieter time.
I'm under 40. Can I still have a check?
Ask our team. We'll tell you what we can offer.
