Blood pressure check
Blood pressure and other health reviews
We have a blood pressure and health review pod near the waiting area (to the right of the reception desk) that automatically measures a patients height, weight and blood pressure. If you have been invited to use it by a member of St Johns Way team by telephone, email/SMS or verbally please come to the practice for your review.
To use the machine:
- please take off your shoes
- stand on the machine
- put in your date of birth on the screen and follow the instructions
- roll up the sleeve of your left arm and remove your watch
- you will be asked questions on alcohol consumption and smoking - this is normal
- once completed your information will be reviewed by our nursing team and if its out of range you will be contacted and you'll receive a paper copy of your results that you can take home
If you have any questions about the machine please speak to our receptionists.
