You may be asked by a clinician to monitor your blood pressure at home. This usually entails taking your blood pressure twice per day, every morning (around 9am) and every evening (around 6pm) for 7 consecutive days.

Hypertension / Ambulatory Blood Pressure Monitoring Service
Did you know that all adults, with or without a prior diagnosis of hypertension can be referred by a general practice for the measurement of blood pressure? The availability of ambulatory monitoring in community pharmacy can reduce the time patients need to wait for diagnosis and/ or treatment.
The pharmacist or pharmacy technician will conduct a face-to-face consultation in the pharmacy consultation room (or other suitable location if the service is provided outside of the pharmacy) and will take blood pressure measurements
All test results will be sent to the patients’ registered general practice.
Pharmacists will alert GP practices as per the service specification where high, or very high readings are detected.
