THe glucose meter people will be only too pleased to provide a meter FOC and training via one of their reps. Omron main manfs of BP testing meters and google will show you similar for cholesterol. Lloyds, naturally, offer BP and glucose tests FOC. You will have great trouble trying to get the PCT to pay. INR is another test that could be offered.

Once something is offered for free, it will never be paid for. Look at the delivery service that most pharmacies offer.

Personally, I am not especially interested in providing BP/glucose tests. I do not understand how it is financially viable to have staff providing a free service when they are needed in the dispensary. Such tests are readily available at the surgery next door. Is there something I'm missing?
