📣 Know Your Numbers Week is coming 🩺 7 to 13 September 2026 📣
Know Your Numbers Week aims to reach those who have high blood pressure and may not know it, so they can get the treatment and support they need to bring it under control.
Did you know that high blood pressure often has no symptoms? Many people are living with it without knowing, increasing their risk of heart attack, stroke, kidney disease, dementia and other serious health conditions.
This year's Know Your Numbers Week theme is: 💙 "You know your age, do you know your numbers?"
Whether you're 20 or 80, knowing your blood pressure could make a life-changing difference. Getting checked is quick, easy and could help prevent serious illness.
