This review is for the benefit of patients with high blood pressure. 

We therefore recommend you take full advantage of this important yearly screening opportunity.

What Will I Need To Bring/Prepare

The first step in the process is to make an appointment with one of our GP Assistants (GPA) for a Health Monitoring Annual Review

The appointments can be booked online by downloading the NHS app - NHS App and your NHS account - NHS (www.nhs.uk)
