Cambridgeshire Libraries - Blood Pressure Monitor Loan Scheme

Back to Support

Cambridgeshire Libraries are offering blood pressure monitors to borrow from all of their libraries and mobile libraries.

What to expect

Checking your blood pressure regularly can help identify potential problems early, reducing the risk of serious health issues such as heart attacks, strokes, and kidney disease.

To support early detection, Cambridgeshire Libraries are loaning blood pressure monitors from all their libraries and mobile libraries across the county. Any library member aged 18 or over can borrow a monitor free of charge for up to three weeks, just like borrowing a book.

To borrow a monitor, simply visit your local library and speak to a member of staff.

More Information

What you will be given to take home:

  • A blood pressure monitor with a wide-range cuff (22-42cm) for adults.
  • An optional larger cuff (31-45cm) available to borrow separately.
  • An information guide for you to keep explaining how to measure your blood pressure at home, what to do with your results, and where to find more information.
  • A blood pressure diary for you to record your readings so you can share them with a healthcare professional.
  • A feedback form to complete and return to the library so they can hear about your experience of using the monitor.

The service is free to use.
