Independent pharmacy chain Well Pharmacy is calling on people to ‘know their number’ in conjunction with Know Your Numbers! Week which runs from September 5, 2022 throughout the UK. Every September, volunteers give free blood pressure checks to thousands of passers-by to prevent heart attacks and strokes.
Know Your Numbers! Week reaches those who have high blood pressure and do not necessarily know it. This affords those vulnerable with high pressure the chance to get the treatment and support they need to bring it under control.
Amongst the hundreds of organisations taking part, from hospitals and health centres to offices, car parks and supermarkets, Well Pharmacy are urging their customers to stop by their local Well Pharmacy to get a free blood pressure check. At their local pharmacy customers can learn more on the importance of understanding hypertension via the hypertension case finding service, a free service offered across Well pharmacies in England.
