Evelyn JJHad our travel vaccine at the north Harrow branch. We were initially booked in Edgware but the vaccine didn't arrive on time for our appointment which was not the pharmacy's fault. They very kindly sorted us out and we subsequently had it done near to where we live. Giving a 5 star as both pharmacists were great!
Hugh DrummondGreat care and determination for best results.

At North Harrow Pharmacy & Travel Clinic, we prioritize your health and well-being. That’s why we are pleased to offer a free NHS 24 Hour Blood Pressure Check service. Monitoring your blood pressure is an essential step in maintaining good health and preventing potential cardiovascular problems. Let us explain why regular blood pressure checks are important and how our free service can benefit you.
Understanding the Significance of Blood Pressure Checks
Blood pressure is a measure of the force exerted by your blood against the walls of your arteries. High blood pressure, also known as hypertension, can put a strain on your heart and increase the risk of serious health conditions such as heart disease, stroke, and kidney problems. Regular blood pressure checks allow early detection and timely intervention, helping to prevent long-term complications.
The Importance of Regular Monitoring
Many individuals may have high blood pressure without experiencing any noticeable symptoms. That’s why regular monitoring is crucial, especially if you have risk factors such as a family history of hypertension, obesity, smoking, or a sedentary lifestyle. Our free NHS Blood Pressure Check service provides an opportunity to have your blood pressure measured by our trained healthcare professionals in a convenient and accessible manner.
We Offer 2 Types of Services, Both Free!
- Clinic Blood Pressure Check: This refers to the process of measuring an individual’s blood pressure within the clinical setting of the pharmacy.
- Ambulatory Blood Pressure Monitoring (24 hour)
24 Hour Ambulatory Blood Pressure Monitoring
North Harrow Pharmacy is proud to offer a cutting-edge Ambulatory Blood Pressure Monitoring (ABPM) service, designed to provide our community with comprehensive and accurate insights into their blood pressure patterns. We understand the importance of monitoring blood pressure beyond the confines of a single visit to the pharmacy or a healthcare facility. Our ABPM service allows individuals to have their blood pressure monitored over a 24-hour period, providing a more comprehensive and nuanced understanding of their cardiovascular health.
Our state-of-the-art ABPM service is facilitated by a team of highly trained and experienced healthcare professionals who guide patients through the process with care and expertise. The service involves the use of a compact and portable blood pressure monitor that individuals wear throughout their daily activities. This device records blood pressure at regular intervals, offering a more holistic view of blood pressure variations in different settings, such as during work, exercise, and sleep.
One of the key benefits of our ABPM service is its ability to detect white coat syndrome, a phenomenon where individuals experience elevated blood pressure in a clinical setting due to anxiety or stress. By capturing blood pressure data over an extended period, our service provides a more accurate representation of an individual’s true blood pressure profile.
At North Harrow Pharmacy, we prioritise preventive healthcare, and our ABPM service aligns with this commitment. Regular monitoring of blood pressure is crucial for identifying potential health risks early on, allowing for timely intervention and personalized healthcare plans. We are dedicated to empowering our community to take proactive steps towards better cardiovascular health, and our ambulatory blood pressure monitoring service is a valuable tool in achieving this goal.
