What this service involves

You will be asked a few questions about your health and any medicines you take, then your blood pressure will be measured using an upper-arm cuff. You will be told your reading in a clear, easy-to-understand way and what it may mean for you. You will leave knowing whether you should recheck, make lifestyle changes, or share the result with another healthcare professional.

The cuff tightens briefly on your upper arm while you sit still and relaxed.
