Last week, we had the opportunity to talk to The Northern Echo about home blood pressure monitors and why they can sometimes give different readings compared to those taken in a clinical setting.

The article highlighted that differences are common and can be caused by factors such as the “white coat effect”, incorrect technique, or using a monitor that isn’t clinically validated.

It also reinforced the importance of taking readings correctly and consistently to get an accurate picture of your blood pressure over time

If you have any concerns about your readings, pop in and speak to our team
