Know your Blood Pressure
Every year, in partnership with The Stroke Association, we join with scores of Rotary Clubs across the UK to run a 'Know your Blood Pressure Day'.
The event takes place in the town centre and offers the public a free blood pressure monitoring service with information and advice on stroke related health issues assisted by a small team of GPs and nurses.
It is estimated that around 16 million people in the UK have high blood pressure, and around a third are unaware of this. At least 40% of strokes could be prevented each year if people checked their blood pressure and took steps to control it.
