About this deal

Tesco are offering FREE Blood pressure checks, as many are deprioritising routine health checks.
As many as five million people in the UK have high blood pressure but don’t know it. Help us find them. Book an appointment for a free blood pressure check at a Tesco Pharmacy, or ask in-store about the free NHS Blood Pressure Check Service.
Select your local Tesco pharmacy to book a Blood Pressure Check. In England, customers over 40 may be offered an NHS Blood Pressure Check. For more information and eligibility criteria click here.
A leading charity partnership is urging more people to encourage their loved ones to take up a free blood pressure check this Valentine’s Day as new figures reveal millions are struggling to prioritise their health during the cost-of-living crisis.
New research released today by Tesco shows that Britons are more likely to service their cars (64%) and household boilers (58%) each year than attend a routine medical examination (31%), with 1 in 2 (50%) more likely to prioritise the health of their loved ones over their own health.
Amid these warning signs, Tesco is working with BHF to encourage more people to routinely check their blood pressure, for free, at the supermarket’s network of in-store pharmacies, with almost half a million appointments available this year at Tesco pharmacies across the UK. Based on NHS analysis, these appointments could help detect tens of thousands of cases of high blood pressure and prevent hundreds of cardiovascular events like heart attacks and strokes.

sorted byHow many people have genuine health concerns but can't even get through to the surgery to tell someone about it because they call at 8.00am, are caller number 87 in the queue and then the line goes dead because all appointments available have been allocated? Game over, try again tomorrow.
It's absolutely criminal what's happening at the moment. Definitely raising my blood pressure! Will have to pop to Tesco to get it checked.
Cheers Rishi et al!
It's disgusting what they have deliberately done to it. Their digging their heels in on negotiating, blaming the unions (saying their making services unsafe and not the years of underfunding and staff shortages) and refusing to budge on the pay award recommendation that's from last year and out of date. There also saying any more money will have to come from funding for nhs services. There trying to turn public opinion against the unions and all the striking workers. The rich, pampered, selfish, incompetent, lying, stealing bunch of immortal, unethical fraudsters. Lock them up!
Asda are closing pharmacies down
Boots are closed pharmacies down
Lloyds are closing pharmacies down
This year, and its been just 5 weeks so far 350 pharmacy closures have been announced.
Everything gets referred to 'the pharmacist'
Aint going to be many around to see at this rate.
Shame
Also if you're aged over 40 then the pharmacy probably gets paid by NHS for the BP check
On a side note, its good to check blood pressure regularly (edited)
