People over 40 encouraged to get their blood pressure checked

Cardiovascular disease (CVD) causes 1 in 4 deaths in England – around one death every four minutes and high blood pressure is the largest known single modifiable risk factor. High blood pressure is easily treated, so getting it checked could save your life. If you’re aged 40 and over, you can get a free blood pressure check at a local pharmacy without needing to book.
