What to expect

Comprehensive, Fast, and Clear

Our private health check focuses on two key markers: blood pressure and blood glucose. The appointment includes accurate readings using calibrated devices, a short clinical assessment, and personalised guidance based on your results. We explain what the numbers mean, discuss any immediate concerns, and provide a written summary you can share with your GP. These checks are useful for routine monitoring, pre-employment screening, or when you want reassurance between routine NHS reviews. Appointments are quick, confidential, and handled by trained pharmacy staff who can advise on lifestyle steps and when to seek further medical review.

How We Measure

Measurements are taken with hygienic, single-use supplies and validated equipment. Blood glucose testing uses a capillary finger-prick sample for immediate reading. Blood pressure is measured after a brief rest period to ensure accuracy. We repeat readings when necessary and record results so you leave with a clear summary.

Why Choose a Private Check?

After measurements, we provide a clear summary of findings and practical advice such as lifestyle changes, when to repeat tests, or when to contact your GP. If readings are outside expected ranges, we explain the significance and offer follow-up options. Our staff can also advise on home monitoring and how to interpret trends over time.
