World Hypertension Day Posted or Updated on 8 May 2025

It is World Hypertension Day on the 17 May. High blood pressure is an ongoing battle - around one in three adults in the UK are affected, often without even knowing it. If left unmanaged, it can lead to serious complications like heart attacks and strokes.

But the good news - with some lifestyle changes, it’s something we can take control of.

To help, we would like to invite you to a Hypertension Lunch and Learn session on the 13 May between 12:00pm to 1:00pm

Here you'll learn more about high blood pressure, the impact that it has on our bodies and ways in which to lower your blood pressure.

Please contact Alison Szustakowski - alison.szustakowski@nhs.net or Hazel De Wit - hazel.dewit@nhs.net for joining instructions.
