Check your blood pressure
The only way of knowing whether you have high blood pressure is to have a blood pressure test.
All adults over 40 are advised to have their blood pressure checked at least every 5 years. Getting this done is easy and could save your life.
You can get your blood pressure tested at a number of places, including at our pharmacies. If you've not been diagnosed with high blood pressure and would like to get yours checked, contact or visit one of our branches.
If we find any potential signs of high blood pressure, we will refer you to your GP for further investigation and treatment if appropriate.
We provide the Discharge Medicines Service. The service has been established to help you understand your medicines and any changes when you leave hospital and to reduce incidences of avoidable harm caused by medicines.
When you are prescribed a new medicine by your doctor our pharmacists can offer support and advice to ensure you take the new medication as prescribed without suffering any unwanted side effects or explain any further questions you may have. We usually do this by keeping in contact with you during the first 4 weeks of your new medicine being prescribed.
The service is only available for people living in England, and only for those who have been prescribed a new medicine for the conditions listed:
The NMS can help:
We provide the pneumonia vaccine which protects you against pneumonia which is an infection that can cause serious illness and in some cases even death. It is more prevalent in colder months during Autumn and Winter and affects around 1 in 100 adults in the UK each year. Although associated with older and vulnerable people about 1 in 4 cases occur in adults under 65.
Pneumonia affects the lungs and can spread from person to person through coughing and sneezing.
Vaccination helps your immune system and provides long-lasting protection against pneumococcal pneumonia. We can administer the vaccine any time of year and it can help reduce your risk if you are travelling to a county which has a higher level of pneumococcal infections such as China or India.
We can give you a pneumonia vaccination at the same time as other vaccinations, such as the flu jab.
People aged 65 and over are also eligible for a free NHS pneumonia vaccination.
