The council and local partners are encouraging residents to get their blood pressure checked for free this April by attending one of several free Blood Pressure Drop‑In sessions taking place across the borough.

High blood pressure often has no symptoms, which means many people may be living with it without knowing. Across the UK, millions of adults are thought to have high blood pressure without a diagnosis, increasing their risk of heart attack, stroke and kidney disease. Locally, it is estimated that around one in three adults in Warrington may have undiagnosed high blood pressure.

These drop‑in events aim to reach residents who may have undiagnosed high blood pressure, so they can access the support and treatment needed to bring it under control. That might mean making healthy lifestyle changes such as eating a balanced diet, reducing salt intake, being more physically active, or starting medication where appropriate.

Residents can drop in to one of the sessions to have a blood pressure test quickly and free of charge.

If you can’t make any of the sessions blood pressure checks are also available at most pharmacies and through your local GP surgery as part of an NHS Health Check, which is offered to adults aged 40 to 74.

Residents can also buy low‑cost blood pressure monitors, starting from around £20, from pharmacies or online, making it easy to check blood pressure at home or while out and about.

Cabinet member for health, wellbeing and social care, Cllr Maureen McLaughlin, said: “High blood pressure can often go unnoticed, but it can have serious consequences if left untreated. I would encourage residents, particularly those aged over 40, to attend one of the many blood pressures drop sessions taking place this month to get their blood pressure checked.

“It’s also worth considering purchasing a home blood pressure monitor so you can keep an eye on your numbers at home, helping you to take control of your health.”

About Us

We are confident that our website will provide clear and concise help and give our patients the information they require in an easy and convenient format. It has been designed with the patient’s needs at the forefront of everything, from checking surgery times to letting us know what you think of us.

The Practice takes it very seriously if a member of staff or one of the doctors or nursing team are treated in an abusive or violent way.

The Practice supports the government's 'Zero Tolerance' campaign for Health Service Staff. This states that GPs and their staff have a right to care for others without fear of being attacked or abused. To successfully provide these services a mutual respect between all the staff and patients has to be in place. All our staff aim to be polite, helpful, and sensitive to all patients’ individual needs and circumstances. They would respectfully remind patients that very often staff could be confronted with a multitude of varying and sometimes difficult tasks and situations, all at the same time.  

However, aggressive behaviour, be it violent or abusive, will not be tolerated and may result in you being removed from the Practice list and, in extreme cases, the Police being contacted.

In order for the practice to maintain good relations with their patients the practice would like to ask all its patients to read and take note of the occasional types of behaviour that would be found unacceptable:

• Using bad language or swearing at practice staff
• Any physical violence towards any member of the Primary Health Care Team or other patients, such as pushing or shoving
• Verbal abuse towards the staff in any form including verbally insulting the staff
• Racial abuse and sexual harassment will not be tolerated within this practice
• Persistent or unrealistic demands that cause stress to staff will not be accepted. Requests will be met wherever possible and explanations given when they cannot
• Causing damage/stealing from the Practice's premises, staff or patients
• Obtaining drugs and/or medical services fraudulently

We ask you to treat your GPs and their staff courteously at all times.

Partners in Care

Once registered, patients and healthcare professionals work together to ensure the most appropriate care is provided. This partnership philosophy extends even further and our active patient group exists to make sure that patient needs and the practice are always heading in the same direction.
