A health kiosk which gives instant details of blood pressure and weight has been installed in a shopping centre in Camberley.

The machine measures blood pressure and body mass index (BMI), using weight and height measurement, and offers users a print out to take to GPs.

The initiative from Surrey Health Borough Council (SHBC) and Frimley Health and Care Integrated Care System NHS is available until 21 July.

Councillor Morgan Rise said the kiosk is "quick and simple" to use. "It is important we all take care of our health," he said.
