Know Your Numbers Week: 2nd- 8th September

Know Your Numbers! Week is the UK’s biggest blood pressure testing and awareness event. Every September, blood pressure checks are taken by thousands to prevent heart attacks and strokes. This week reaches those who have high blood pressure and don’t know it, so they can get the treatment and support they need to bring it under control. Previously, hundreds of organisations took part, setting up Pressure Stations in public places across the UK. From hospitals and health centres to offices, car parks and supermarkets. Today, the Know Your Numbers! Week focus is on home blood pressure monitoring, as it’s the easiest way to find out your blood pressure numbers. Click here for more information.
