Free blood pressure tests available at Tesco stores
Tesco and British Heart Foundation offer free 10-minute blood pressure checks to detect undiagnosed hypertension, affecting roughly one in three adults, to reduce heart attack and stroke risks.
- Throughout February, Tesco is offering free blood pressure checks at its in-store pharmacies in partnership with the British Heart Foundation to encourage routine monitoring.
- Professor Bryan Williams OBE warned that high blood pressure affects roughly one in three adults and often has no symptoms, so testing is vital to prevent heart attacks and strokes.
- Tesco pharmacy teams offer free walk-in and pre-booked blood pressure checks in private consultation rooms, with a test taking about 10 minutes and staff explaining results clearly.
- Until 1 March, customers can round up to the nearest 1 for the Health Charity Partnership, while OHID estimates 1 in 11 people in the Midlands have undiagnosed high blood pressure.
- The campaign sits within the wider Tesco Health Charity Partnership launched in 2018, with Tesco Magazine and the Tesco Real Food website featuring heart-healthy recipes and all pharmacists undergoing specialist `Let’s Talk` training.
