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.
The event is run with the help of organisations which volunteer to provide free blood pressure testing and information to hundreds of thousands of people at 'Pressure Stations' nationwide.
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 took part in Know Your Numbers! Week 2007 which was also being backed by a host of celebrities and politicians.
