Know Your Numbers – get your blood pressure checked at your local community pharmacy

Participating community pharmacies are offering free NHS blood pressure checks to adults aged 40 and over who don’t already have a diagnosis of high blood pressure.

The check takes 10–15 minutes in a private consultation room. A trained pharmacy team member will ask a few questions and take your blood pressure using a monitor.

If your reading is high, you may be offered a device to take home that monitors your blood pressure throughout the day (ambulatory blood pressure monitoring). Based on your results, the pharmacist may refer you to your GP for further support.

Why is this important?

High blood pressure (also called hypertension) often has no obvious symptoms, but it can significantly increase your risk of serious health problems like heart attacks and strokes. Knowing your numbers empowers you to take control of your health and make informed choices that improve long-term health outcomes.

Walk-in Cervical Screening Clinic at Heatherwood Hospital – Monday 23rd June

NHS Frimley Health and Care is encouraging women, and transgender or non-binary people with a cervix, aged 25 to 64 years to take up their screening invitation.

As part of Cervical Screening Awareness Week (19–24 June), Heatherwood Hospital, Ascot, are holding a walk-in cervical screening clinic on Monday, 23 June, between 9am-4pm run by specialist gynaecology nurses. The clinic offers a convenient and supportive option for those due or overdue for their cervical screening test.

The clinic will take place in the hospital’s gynaecology department, with no appointment needed. An information stand will be set up in the main reception, where clinicians will be available to answer any questions about the cervical screening process and provide reassurance to patients, staff, and visitors.
Cervical cancer is the most common cancer in women under 35, and tragically, two women die every day from the disease in the UK. However, 99.8% of cases are preventable (Cancer Research UK).
Cervical screening (formerly known as the smear test) is one of the most effective ways to prevent cervical cancer, yet around 1 in 4 people don’t attend their appointment, often due to fear, embarrassment, or uncertainty.

We understand that screening isn’t always easy. That’s why our expert nurses are trained to provide a supportive environment with adjustments available to make the test more comfortable. You may find it easier to take a friend or relative with you, ask for more time to talk through your concerns, or to listen to music or a podcast.
If you’ve received a screening invitation, or know you’re overdue, please don’t delay. The appointment lasts just a few minutes. Drop into the clinic at Heatherwood Hospital, Brook Ave, Ascot, SL5 7GB, on Monday, 23 June, or book with your GP. Attending your cervical screening could save your life.
