You may have seen the NHS ‘Invincible Feeling, Invisible Danger’ campaign, designed to raise awareness about the importance of regular blood pressure monitoring. 

In mid and south Essex alone, an estimated 88,000 people are living with undiagnosed high blood pressure. The silent nature of this condition makes it easy to ignore – but checking your blood pressure is one of the simplest ways to protect your health. 

Local pharmacies are offering free blood pressure checks for people aged 40 and over, no appointment needed. Follow the link below for more information and to find a pharmacy near you.
