About this test

This test records systolic and diastolic blood pressure using an arm cuff attached to a monitor, taken in person at a Bluecrest venue. Bluecrest's own description notes that high blood pressure often causes no symptoms but is linked to increased risk of conditions including heart disease, stroke and kidney problems; the test itself only measures your reading, it does not diagnose any of these conditions.

On marker count, the two readings taken here place it in the 43rd percentile among the heart and cholesterol tests we track, roughly the middle of this category. The value for money score is high here, since £49 compares with a £127 median for similarly sized heart and cholesterol tests we track. It scores lower on results and follow-up, because there is no doctor review as standard, and the fact sheet does not state a turnaround time or sample type for this test.

Who is it for?

This suits you if you want a simple, one-off blood pressure reading, for example if you have not had it checked recently. As with any of these tests, if your reading raises any concerns, we would recommend discussing it with a GP. There is no comparable stand-alone blood pressure test from another provider in our data, so we cannot compare it on price or depth.

How it works

This is a non-blood measurement taken with an arm cuff at a Bluecrest venue rather than at home. The fact sheet does not state a turnaround time or how the reading is delivered, and results are not reviewed by a doctor as standard.
