Health Point Monitor - measure your key health information
Positioned in our waiting area at both surgeries, the Health Point Monitor is extremely user-friendly with clear visual and audio step-by-step instructions.
The Health Point Monitor can measure blood pressure, pulse rate, weight, height and from these calculate your BMI (body mass index).
But don’t worry, it does not announce your results!
All results are printed on a ticket for your own information or for examination and interpretation by a healthcare professional.
We encourage patients to use the monitor before appointments or just to keep track of how they’re doing.
No appointment necessary – call in any time we are open
