If you do not already have your own blood pressure monitor, it is possible to purchase one. You can buy blood pressure monitors directly from the manufacturer, from many local pharmacies, from pharmacies such as Boots and Lloyds Pharmacy either online or in large branches, or online from retailers such as Amazon and John Lewis. For a list of clinically validated monitors, visit https://bihsoc.org/bp-monitors/for-home-use/  or discuss with your local pharmacy.

Alternatively, if you are unable to obtain your own blood pressure monitor, Beccles Medical Centre is able to lease digital blood pressure monitors to individual patients. The fee for this service is £20, in the form of a cash deposit. The deposit of £20 will be returned to you in full, immediately on return of the blood pressure monitor. If you would like to lease a blood pressure monitor, please visit the medical centre and speak to a member of our reception team.
