Know Your Numbers Week

Every September, blood pressure checks are taken by thousands to prevent heart attacks and strokes.

Know Your Numbers! 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. Even the Royal Albert Hall. 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.

This year’s campaign will take place from 2-8 September 2024, however we will be taking part in events across the city for the whole month of September along side Liverpool City Council.

Don’t miss your chance to take part in the UK’s biggest blood pressure testing and awareness event. – List of events below.
