Annette Brooke MP supports nation's biggest blood pressure testing event
September 12, 2006 11:04 AM
Annette Brooke MP will be encouraging constituents to find out if they are at risk of high blood pressure by having a free blood pressure test at a BPA 'Pressure Station' at Lloyd's Pharmacy, Broadstone on Friday 15 September during the Blood Pressure Association¡s (BPA) Know Your Numbers!" Week.
Annette will be one of thousands of people across the UK who will receive a free blood pressure check during the charity's Know Your Numbers! Week (11-17 September) which aims to prevent stroke, heart attack and heart disease caused by high blood pressure.
Annette Brooke of Mid Dorset and North Poole constituency said: Having a blood pressure check is quick and painless, and the only way to know if you have high blood pressure. I am proud to support this important healthcare campaign for all adults to know their blood pressure numbers during the BPAs Know Your Numbers! Week. I would urge everyone to go along to a Pressure Station during the Week and take that first step in reducing risk of stroke and heart disease.
