Free Blood Pressure Check for Hounslow Residents
Know Your Numbers
One in three adults in the UK has high blood pressure, while six million people are
unaware of the condition nationally.
Getting your blood pressure checked is important because there are usually no
symptoms; the first sign could be a heart attack or stroke. After that, it can cause
kidney disease, dementia and other illnesses but can be prevented and lowered with
medications and lifestyle changes - as long as you know your numbers.
As part of a national Know Your Numbers campaign week, taking place from 5-11th September, the drive aims to reach those with high blood pressure but don’t know it.
Hounslow Council encourages residents to check their blood pressure for free at
various sites across the Borough, including selected pharmacies, Lampton Leisure
Centres and on the Hounslow Health Outreach bus. Adults aged 18+ can get a free
blood pressure check at various sites across the Borough.
Residents (aged 40+ only) can visit one of the 24 pharmacies in Hounslow which offer
free blood pressure checks. Please click the link below for more information on the
pharmacies:
