The PCN, working as part of your GP practice team, will be at Clements Hall on Friday 7 June 2024, offering blood pressure and wellbeing checks as part of our outreach programme across Rayleigh and District.
You don’t need an appointment, just pop by and see the team!
Why is it important to get your blood pressure checked?
A blood pressure test checks if your blood pressure is healthy, or if it’s high or low.
Blood pressure is the term used to describe the strength with which your blood pushes on the sides of your arteries as it’s pumped around your body.
Low blood pressure (hypotension) is not usually a problem, although it can cause dizziness and fainting in some people.
High blood pressure (hypertension) can increase your risk of developing serious problems, such as heart attacks and strokes, if it’s not treated.
Having this quick test is the only way to find out what your blood pressure is – and it could save your life.
