5th – 11th September

Know your numbers week is a good time to focus on delivery of the hypertension case finding service and talking to customers about their blood pressure.

This year, Blood Pressure UK’s theme is: Measure. Modify. Manage.

  • Measure your blood pressure to see if it’s under control
  • Modify your lifestyle if necessary
  • Manage your blood pressure and your health to beat ‘the silent killer’

And every day in the UK, 350 people have a stroke or heart attack that could have been prevented.
