❤️ Free Event: Understanding Cholesterol Together ❤️

Do you have questions about your cholesterol or want to better understand your heart health?

We’re pleased to share that HEART UK is running a series of free “Understanding Cholesterol Together” events to help you take control of your health.

✔️ Learn from expert healthcare professionals
✔️ Understand your cholesterol numbers and risks
✔️ Get practical lifestyle and treatment advice
✔️ Free cholesterol testing available (subject to availability)

High cholesterol often has no symptoms, but it’s a major risk factor for heart disease, so it’s important to stay informed and proactive.

📍 Events are being held across the UK, including an opportunity for patients in and around Southampton.
