The Blood Pressure Association's Know your Numbers! Week is the nation's biggest annual blood pressure testing and awareness event, which takes place in the second week of September each year.

Pressure Stations are located throughout the community including GP surgeries, hospitals, pharmacies, health clubs, leisure centres, workplaces, shopping centres and supermarkets.
Major companies and organisations take part in Know Your Numbers! Week which is also backed by a host of celebrities and politicians.
