Let’s face it, nothing gets the heart racing quite like a bargain hunt. And where better to trawl for treasures than a car boot sale? But while you’re busy snapping up second-hand finds, don’t forget that it’s best not to bargain with your health! On February 28, Boots Pharmacists will be popping up at the eBoot car boot sale offering a free Health MOT* for those over 40, so that you can get to know your blood pressure numbers.
The test includes an NHS blood pressure check as well as an optional BMI and waist circumference test. 1 in 4 people have undiagnosed high blood pressure, and it usually doesn’t have any symptoms, so it’s well worth getting to know your numbers and looking out for your heart health. Don’t worry – you won’t miss out on any stellar finds – the Health MOT only takes 15 minutes.
If you’re on the fence about whether you need a Health MOT or have other healthcare questions on your mind, a Boots Pharmacist is also on hand to offer free advice. Just walk into the pop-up and chat to an expert – it’s as simple as that.
Whether you strike car boot gold or leave empty-handed, one thing’s guaranteed: Boots Pharmacists are always nearby to help you look after yourself, in between all the rummaging that is.
Can’t make the car boot? Don’t worry, with Boots Pharmacies in over 1,000 Boots stores across the UK (most of them with weekend and evening opening hours) you’re never too far away from a Boots Pharmacist. What’s more, there’s no need for an appointment, meaning you can access expert healthcare advice and treatment for minor conditions when you most need it, and sometimes, where you least expect it!
*Free health MOT available in participating stores, England only. Includes the NHS Blood Pressure Check Service, as well as an optional waist circumference and BMI check. Eligibility criteria apply. Subject to availability.
