Know Your Numbers! Week 2026

 7 - 13 September 2026

High blood pressure can lead to stroke, heart disease and kidney disease 

Get your blood pressure checked TODAY!

There are lots of places you can get a blood pressure check. 

Your GP surgery - Your GP or practice nurse can check your blood pressure. There might even be a machine in the waiting room you can use to measure your own blood pressure.

Your local pharmacy - Some pharmacies offer blood pressure checks, and your pharmacist will also be able to point you in the direction of support and advice if you need it. They might also offer other health checks.

NHS Health Check - This may be available if you’re 40-74 years old. They include other checks too, such as your blood cholesterol and if you’re a healthy weight, to give you an idea of your overall health. If you don’t get an invitation letter from your local surgery, you can call to arrange an appointment.
