Blood pressure health checks will be available from October at all NHS high street pharmacies in England
High street pharmacies are to start offering heart health checkups in a move that could save thousands of lives every year.
From October, every NHS pharmacy in England will be able to provide blood pressure checks to people aged 40 and over. The deal is part of the Community Pharmacy Contractual Framework, a deal between NHS England, the Pharmaceutical Services Negotiating Committee and the Department of Health and Social Care.
