Take charge of your health!
1 Min ReadAll patients are invited to use one of the Health Pods at our Forest End or Stakes Lodge sites. You can use the Health Pod to submit one, or multiple blood pressure readings, complete a contraceptive pill check, record your smoking status, check your BMI or give the surgery feedback by completing the Friends and Family Test.
The benefits to you are:
- No appointment needed.
- You can drop in at a time convenient to you.
Abnormal readings are reviewed by a Healthcare Professional and if further action is needed you will be contacted.
ATTENTION: If you are checking your blood pressure and are concerned by the result (for example a high reading), please stop by the reception desk afterwards as you may need to be seen by an appropriate clinician.
