New blood pressure monitor

On behalf of the entire practice we would like thank everyone who has generously supported our appeal for a new 24 hour blood pressure monitor.

These vital pieces of equipment are not funded by the NHS but are so important in managing patients with raised blood pressure.   They are used to determine whether raised blood pressure readings are true readings or a result of "white coat hypertension". 

Our particular thanks go to the ladies of the Women's Institute, Mr John Collett, the Surrey Border Lions Club and the Lightwater Business Association.
