Know Your Numbers Week 2025: Join the Healthy Heart Peer Support Team Across Barnet!
Know Your Numbers Week (8th–14th September 2025) is the UK’s biggest blood pressure awareness campaign, led by Blood Pressure UK. It’s all about encouraging people to check their blood pressure and take steps to protect their heart health. High blood pressure often has no symptoms but can lead to serious conditions like heart attacks and strokes.
