What is hypertension (high blood pressure)?

Hypertension (high blood pressure) is a common condition where the pressure of blood in your arteries is consistently higher than recommended, increasing long-term risk of heart attack and stroke if untreated.

High blood pressure often has no symptoms, which is why it's usually picked up through measurement rather than how you feel.

Is this service right for you?

It may be suitable if

May be suitable for adults with confirmed high blood-pressure readings where medical treatment alongside lifestyle change is appropriate.

Another type of care may be better if

Online treatment isn't appropriate for a hypertensive emergency (very high readings with symptoms such as severe headache, chest pain or visual disturbance), pregnancy-related high blood pressure, or where in-person examination or investigation is needed first.

How Nelford’s high blood pressure service works

  1. 1
    Tell us what you need

    Complete a secure online consultation about your symptoms, health and any treatment you’ve tried. It’s free and you can start any time.

  2. 2
    Same-day review by a UK-registered clinician

    Assessment includes your blood-pressure readings, medical history, current medication, lifestyle factors and any related risk factors, so the clinician can judge whether treatment is appropriate. If anything else would help, the clinician will ask, or arrange a call or video consultation.

  3. 3
    You choose

    If treatment is clinically appropriate, you receive your options with their benefits, risks and a clear price. You decide whether to go ahead.

  4. 4
    We handle the rest

    Choose next-working-day delivery through our pharmacy partners, or your prescription by email. Nelford coordinates the next steps and any follow-up.

Information that helps

Having these to hand helps the clinician review your consultation quickly. If you don’t have something, you can still submit: the clinician will let you know if anything else is needed.

  • Confirmation that high blood pressure has been diagnosed
  • Recent home or clinic blood-pressure readings
  • Recent kidney-function or other blood-test results, if you have them
  • Photo ID, so your identity can be confirmed (if you are new to Nelford or your details have changed)
  • Medicines you take now or have taken recently, and any allergies
  • Relevant medical history and your GP's details
  • Your contact details and address, so the clinic can reach you safely

After your consultation

Where treatment is appropriate, your clinician explains the options and how they fit alongside lifestyle measures such as diet, activity and reducing alcohol and salt intake.

Ongoing blood-pressure monitoring and follow-up are arranged so treatment can be adjusted safely.

  • Next-working-day delivery. Treatment confirmed before 4pm on a weekday is eligible for next-working-day delivery. Same-day options are available on request.
  • Prescription sent by email. Receive your prescription electronically by email and use it at a pharmacy of your choice.
  • Repeat treatment made simple. With a Nelford account you can request repeat treatment in a few steps, and a clinician reviews each request.

Every decision is made by a clinician together with you. The clinician may ask for more information, suggest a call or video consultation, or recommend another service if that would suit you better.

When to get urgent help

Hypertension: common questions

Who is the Hypertension service for?
May be suitable for adults with confirmed high blood-pressure readings where medical treatment alongside lifestyle change is appropriate.
How quickly is my consultation reviewed?
Same-day review. A UK-registered clinician reviews consultations the same day during opening hours, 7 days a week from 7am to midnight.
What will the clinician need to know?
Assessment includes your blood-pressure readings, medical history, current medication, lifestyle factors and any related risk factors, so the clinician can judge whether treatment is appropriate.
How do I receive my treatment?
If a clinician approves treatment for high blood pressure, you choose: next-working-day delivery through our pharmacy partners (order before 4pm on a weekday; same-day options on request), or your prescription sent electronically by email to use at a pharmacy of your choice.
How much does it cost?
Your online consultation is free. You only pay if a clinician considers treatment appropriate and you choose to go ahead. If treatment is approved, the hypertension service starts from £19.40; medicine is priced separately, and you see a clear price for each treatment option before you pay. If a clinician needs to speak with you by video or phone before deciding, a £19.40 booking fee applies. You see it before you book and can choose not to go ahead.
Will I definitely get treatment?
A clinician decides with you. Treatment is recommended only when it is clinically appropriate, and the options, benefits and risks are explained before you choose whether to go ahead.
When might another type of care be better for high blood pressure?
Online treatment isn't appropriate for a hypertensive emergency (very high readings with symptoms such as severe headache, chest pain or visual disturbance), pregnancy-related high blood pressure, or where in-person examination or investigation is needed first.
When should I get urgent help instead?
Seek urgent medical help for a very high blood-pressure reading together with symptoms such as severe headache, chest pain, breathlessness or visual disturbance. In a medical emergency call 999 or go to A&E. For urgent advice that isn't an emergency, contact NHS 111.
