Managing High Blood Pressure: Blood Pressure Monitor Loan
What is The Library Loan Scheme?
We have installed Blood Pressure machines at 3 libraries within Hillingdon, allowing residents to test out the machine by taking a one-off measurement and help to determine if they would benefit from using the loan scheme to borrow a blood pressure machine for a short period to use from home.
Who is this for?
For anyone that is 18 years and older, registered with a Hillingdon GP practice.
What's Involved?
You need to record readings for seven consecutive days, you can then take a copy of the results to your local surgery, or to any of the libraries participating in the scheme. Your results will then be added to your NHS medical record and reviewed by a doctor or nurse.
Where?
The kits are available for loan from the following libraries (subject to availability):
