flag NHS offers free blood pressure checks to adults 40+ in England to catch undiagnosed hypertension.

flag The NHS is offering free blood pressure checks at selected pharmacies across England for adults aged 40 and over who don’t know they have high blood pressure. flag The service, aimed at early detection, is not available to those who already know they have hypertension or have had a recent check. flag Pharmacists or healthcare assistants perform the test using a standard arm cuff, and results may lead to a GP referral, lifestyle advice, or a home monitoring kit. flag High blood pressure often has no symptoms but increases the risk of heart disease and stroke. flag The initiative is part of broader efforts to improve cardiovascular health and expand access to preventive care.
