🏃 Hear from Mick Hall, who suffered from a stroke, but thanks to the team at UHNM he was able to recover and help organise the Stone 5, a 5 mile road race. With hundreds of participants, including our very own Dr. Indira Natarajan, it was a great evening raising money for UHNM.

High blood pressure is the biggest single risk factor for stroke, yet you could be one of millions living with it without knowing. If you're aged 40+ you can find a local pharmacy offering free blood pressure checks without needing to book: bit.ly/4ccE2TY

To the top right of this graphic is the NHS logo and to the bottom right is a 'see your pharmacist' logo.

1:4 Strokes are caused by AF. AF strokes are disabling and mortality is very high.  Lets get all health care professionals coming into contact with patients checking their pulses manually. This could save some one's life from a catastrophic stroke

Around 1 in 4 adults in the UK have high blood pressure, but many don’t know it. It can increase your risk of a heart attack or stroke. Find out how to get checked, understand what your numbers mean and how to manage your risk. nhs.uk/bloodpressure
An image showing a gauge in four colours: purple, green, orange and red with a pointer to green. The header reads "Over 40? You need to know your blood pressure" The text on the bottom of the image reads "Knowing your blood pressure numbers can help you to manage your risk." The NHS logo is in the top right hand corner.
