Having high blood pressure can lead to increased risk of heart attack or a stroke. So knowing your blood pressure numbers can save your life.
It’s quite common too. Around 1 in 4 adults in the UK have high blood pressure.
So, have it checked when you can. If you’re over 40, you should get your blood pressure tested at least every five years.
Telford & Wrekin Council has recruited several volunteer blood pressure checkers who will be based at events and clinics in local community settings, making it easier for people to have their blood pressure tested.
Our friendly volunteer blood pressure checkers are fully trained to check your blood pressure. They can also let you know what your numbers mean and answer any questions you might have.
If you want to drop and get your blood pressure checked, here is where they will be:
