Public facing Service Finder for Hypertension Case Finding Service
Written by AlisonFreemantle on Thursday 26th October 2023
Update Your Profile Manager
A new service finder on NHS.uk allows healthcare professionals and patients to search for and find a pharmacy that offers NHS free blood pressure checks.
The tool explains who is eligible to go to a pharmacy to get their blood pressure checked and can be searched using a postcode, with the nearest pharmacy listed first. The Blood pressure conditions pages on NHS.UK have also been updated to signpost to the blood pressure pharmacy finder.
All pharmacies offering the service should ensure their pharmacy profile on profile manager is up to date and indicates that they provide the service.
Now is a good time to make sure your profile manager shows all services* you currently offer such as:
- New Medicine Service (NMS)
- Community Pharmacist Consultation Service (CPCS)
- Contraception ongoing supply service
- Flu vaccinations
- Minor Ailment service
- Emergency Contraception (EC)
- Needle exchange
- Supervised consumption
- Palliative care
- Smoking cessation service
*These services are not public facing but other areas of the NHS can see such as 111.
Remember it is a requirement to keep your profile manager up to date.
