2016 Blood Pressure Tests (KYBP)
In April 2016, 188 people took advantage of the Know Your Blood Pressure
(KYBP) measurements organised by the Rotary Club of Buxton at The Devonshire
Dome and The Springs Shopping Centre. Four people required urgent action
and 46 were advised to have routine further checks. The event was part
of the Stroke Association annual campaign in partnership with Rotary in
Great Britain & Ireland clubs to raise awareness of the link between
high blood pressure and strokes. High Blood Pressure is known as the
'silent killer'. This was the 10th annual check event organised by Rotary Club of Buxton
