The BIHS is proud to support Know Your Numbers! Week 2024 Taking place 2 - 8 September 2024 Don't miss your chance to take part in the UK's biggest blood pressure testing and awareness event. #knowyournumbers
Today is the start of Know Your Numbers!Week which lasts from 2 - 8 September and run by the charity Blood Pressure UK. The theme this year is 'You have the Power' and we're encouraging people to go and get their blood pressure checked at your local pharmacy or GP or at home using a home monitor. Known as the silent killer as for the majority of people it's symptomless, by knowing your numbers you can get the advice and guidance to reduce it and prevent stroke, heart disease, vascular dementia and kidney disease. There are an estimated 4 million people in the UK aged 18-64 unaware their blood pressure is high. Get tested today! bloodpressureuk.org
