Blood Pressure Check: With cardiovascular diseases being on the rise, it is essential to have regular blood pressure checkups. Many people in the UK are completely unaware they suffer from high blood pressure. If left untreated, the condition can lead to heart disease, stroke and other serious conditions. It is recommended that everyone should have their blood pressure checked at least every 3-5 years, and more often as you get older, or if you have been previously diagnosed with high blood pressure, or if you suffer from conditions such as diabetes or high cholesterol. We offer a free and quick service that will take literally minutes to obtain reliable results. |

Chlamydia Testing: Chlamydia is on the increase in young people. Quite often, people don’t suffer from any symptoms, and so the condition goes untreated and further spread. If you have ever had unprotected sex, you may be at risk and so should get tested. If you are under 25, we can offer a completely free and confidential testing with results being directly texted to you. Should the need arise, we can also offer free treatment, as well as offer to contact and treat to current or ex-partner, without the need for testing, on your behalf. |
