Fasting — Only If Your Bloods Are Due

If your Prevention Programme bloods are due at this appointment, you must fast from midnight the night before. This means no food or drink except plain water from midnight onwards. Fasting is needed for accurate blood results (cholesterol, triglycerides, glucose).

If your bloods aren't due, no bloods are taken and you don't need to fast. We'll tell you which applies when we ring to book your appointment.

Medications: Continue all regular medications as normal with a small sip of water.

Before You Begin — What You'll Need

To get the most from this form, please have the following to hand if possible:

⚖️

Weight scales — to enter your weight in Section 4.

📏

A measuring tape — to measure your waist in Section 4.

💪

A home blood pressure machine — if you have one, please take a few readings over several mornings and note your average. Home readings are often more accurate than surgery readings because some people's blood pressure rises when they visit a doctor or nurse — known as white coat hypertension. A home average gives us a truer picture of your usual blood pressure.
If you are declining the 24-hour BP monitor (ABPM) in Section 7, a home reading is helpful for your nurse to review.

Not sure if you should be completing this form or the CDM form, or unsure which programme you're on? Email kinsealymedicalcentre@protonmail.com and we'll check for you.

Good news — your Prevention Programme bloods are free of charge. On the day, we carry out the standard blood tests for your review (cholesterol, glucose, and other relevant tests) — these are fully covered, nothing for you to pay.

If your Prevention Programme bloods aren't due, no bloods are taken at this appointment. If your GP or a hospital consultant has asked for other blood tests, let us know below. Bloods requested by a hospital consultant are charged separately.

Charged at our standard consultant-ordered bloods fee of €60 — see fees ↗. Payable on the day at reception.

Please make a selection.

7 — 24-Hour Blood Pressure Monitor (ABPM)

What is an ABPM? The ABPM is a small device worn on your upper arm for 24 hours. It automatically checks your blood pressure every 30 minutes during the day and every hour at night, giving a much more accurate picture than a single surgery reading.

Your nurse may recommend an ABPM at your appointment based on your blood pressure reading and overall cardiovascular risk profile. If you are unsure whether this applies to you, your nurse will advise you on the day.
