24-Hour Blood Pressure Monitoring

Home-delivered ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (ABPM) — accurate real-world readings without needing to attend a clinic.

Blood pressure is highly sensitive to environment. Clinic readings can be affected by stress or anxiety — meaning white coat hypertension is common. Our home-based service gives you accurate, real-life readings.

This approach is particularly useful for detecting white coat hypertension, masked hypertension, blood pressure variability, and night-time blood pressure patterns.

Our blood pressure monitoring service operates from CQC-regulated clinical sites in Wigan, Chorley, Manchester, and Salford.

Why night-time blood pressure matters

Your blood pressure during sleep is one of the most important predictors of long-term cardiovascular risk. Reduced night-time dipping and abnormal or rising night-time blood pressure are often missed without 24-hour monitoring.
