It's almost "Know Your Numbers Week" - 7th to 13th September! π
The UK's biggest blood pressure awareness campaign.
High blood pressure often has no symptoms, but it can increase your risk of serious health conditions such as heart attack and stroke. Around one in three people in the UK has high blood pressure, yet many people do not know they have it.
Come along and get your blood pressure checked at one of our free community sessions in Corby:
π Lodge Park Sports Centre

Tuesday 9 September
π Corby East Midlands International Pool

Wednesday 10 September
A quick check could make a big difference to your health.
