What can I check at the Health Station?
Blood pressure
High blood pressure usually has no symptoms, which is why regular checks matter. It’s a major risk factor for heart attack, stroke and kidney disease.
Height, weight and BMI
A quick way to track changes over time. BMI is a rough guide only and doesn’t account for things like muscle mass.
AUSDRISK: type 2 diabetes risk
A short questionnaire that estimates your risk of developing type 2 diabetes in the next five years.
How does the Health Station work?
- It’s free, and there’s no appointment needed. Just come in during opening hours.
- We can email your results to you, so you can track them or share them with your doctor.
- Check in each time you fill your scripts, and you’ll see how your health is changing over time.
- If a result is outside the healthy range, our pharmacists can talk it through and refer you to a GP. Help Medical is an independent general practice located inside our store.
What do blood pressure numbers mean?
A reading has two numbers, for example 120/80. The top number is the pressure when your heart beats; the bottom number is the pressure between beats. A single high reading doesn’t mean you have high blood pressure, but it’s a sign to check again and talk to your doctor.
When should I see a doctor straight away?
If you have a very high reading along with chest pain, shortness of breath, severe headache, weakness, or changes in vision or speech, call 000.
What else can help?
If your numbers suggest a change is worth making, our pharmacists offer free weight management support. If you have diabetes, we’re an access point for NDSS supplies. And if you take several medicines, a free medication review checks they’re all working well together.
