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; and, even the Royal Albert Hall.

Today, the “Know Your Numbers!” campeign focus is on home blood pressure monitoring, as it’s the easiest way to find out your blood pressure numbers.
