Key Points
Our Healthy Heart Check offers a clear, practical snapshot of your heart health. Using validated devices we measure blood pressure, perform a cholesterol check and calculate BMI. After results we explain what each measure means, give personalised lifestyle advice and, if necessary, advise on follow-up with your GP or specialist. The service is designed for convenience and clarity to help you take actionable steps toward reducing cardiovascular risk and improving long-term wellbeing.

What We Measure
We take a small finger-prick blood sample to estimate cholesterol levels, measure seated blood pressure using an automated cuff, and calculate BMI from height and weight. Each test is quick and minimally invasive, with results explained immediately and practical next steps provided. You’ll leave with a better understanding of your cardiovascular risk and realistic advice to lower it.
