In-House Blood Pressure Machines

Posted on:

From 1 January 2026, the surgery will no longer provide in-house blood pressure (BP) Self-Service BP Machines readings

Why We Have Removed the Self-Service BP Machines

To maintain high standards of infection prevention and ensure a safe environment for all patients and staff, the practice will be removing the self-service blood pressure machines from the surgery.

Patients who need a blood pressure check will still be fully supported:

Local pharmacies: Many now offer free blood pressure monitoring and our reception team can send you a link to help you find your nearest participating pharmacy.

Clinical appointments: Blood pressure readings will continue to be taken when clinically appropriate.

Home monitoring: If you have a home blood pressure monitor, you can continue to submit your readings to us through the usual channels.

We appreciate your understanding as we make these changes to maintain a safe and protected environment for all patients and staff.
