❤️ Know your numbers. Know your blood pressure.

This , we’re raising awareness of the importance of checking your blood pressure.

High blood pressure often has no obvious symptoms, but it can have serious consequences. In fact:

1 in 2 strokes and heart attacks are the result of high blood pressure.
1 in 3 adults in the UK have high blood pressure.
1 in 2 adults with high blood pressure don’t know they have it or aren’t receiving treatment.
6 million people in the UK have high blood pressure and don’t know it.

Knowing your blood pressure is a simple but important step towards looking after your health.

💙 Do you know your numbers?

URINE ISN’T WASTE. IT’S WISDOM.
Most of us flush it away without a second thought.
But urine is a useful indicator of our health.
This , it's time to see urine differently.

Take control. Check your urine.

This morning, our Research Team joined colleagues at Grove Surgery in supporting Day! ❤️

Everyone got involved by wearing red, baking some yummy cakes and helping to raise awareness of the vital role that research plays in improving patient care and outcomes.

Research helps us discover better treatments, improve services and shape the future of healthcare. Every study, every participant and every conversation contributes to making a difference.

A huge thank you to everyone who is taking part, has dressed in red and is supporting the day. We loved seeing the creativity, enthusiasm and, of course, the delicious cakes! 🍰🔴

We’re also delighted that colleagues at School Lane Surgery and Watton Medical Practice are also taking part in Day. Keep an eye on our page for more photos coming soon!

Together, we’re celebrating the power of research and the people who make it possible.
