Pharmacy blood pressure check service finder tool for the public and patients
A new service finder on the NHS website (NHS.UK) allows healthcare professionals and patients to search for and find a pharmacy that offers free blood pressure checks.
The tool explains who is eligible to go to a pharmacy to get their blood pressure checked and can be searched using a postcode, with the nearest pharmacy listed first.
Blood pressure conditions pages on the NHS website have also been updated to signpost to the blood pressure pharmacy finder.
All pharmacy contractors offering the service should ensure that their pharmacy profile on NHS Profile Manager is up to date and indicates that they provide the service. This will ensure that all pharmacies which offer the service located nearest the postcode provided will be listed.
NHS Service finder for healthcare professionals
The NHS Service Finder for healthcare professionals (provided by the UEC Directory of Services team) will shortly be expanded to include the ability to search for pharmacies providing NHS Community Pharmacy Blood Pressure Check and NHS Pharmacy Contraception Services.
