Regular screening can help:

Our pharmacists can also advise you on lifestyle changes and next steps if any results require further follow-up with your GP.

2. Do I need an appointment for a health check?
Some services can be done on a walk-in basis, such as blood pressure or glucose testing. However, services like 24-hour blood pressure monitoring may require an appointment. We recommend contacting us in advance to confirm availability.
3. How long does a health check take?
Most basic checks, such as blood pressure or glucose testing, take just 5–10 minutes. More detailed assessments like ABPM require fitting a monitor and returning it after 24 hours.

For most checks, no special preparation is needed. However, for glucose testing, you may be advised to fast depending on the type of test. Our team will guide you beforehand if required.

Yes — most results (blood pressure, BMI, glucose) are available immediately and explained by our pharmacist. For ABPM, results are reviewed after the monitoring period.
7. What happens if something abnormal is detected?
If your results indicate a potential issue, we will explain what it means and advise on next steps, which may include lifestyle changes or referral to your GP for further investigation.
