Visit our mobile health service for a free blood pressure and health check.

Blood pressure check van

A healthy blood pressure is your best defence against stroke.

Our mobile service provides free blood pressure and pulse checks to the public. It's a project that is saving lives, as high blood pressure is a major risk factor for stroke. Once detected, high blood pressure can be managed and controlled through regular checks, healthy living and with the help of medication where necessary.

Check below to see where our Community Stroke Navigators will be testing blood pressures for free near you!

Thanks to our sponsors, Ryman Healthcare, Raymond Forbes Wilson Estate and the Estate of Ernest Hyam Davis & The Ted and Mollie Carr Endowment Trust, with support from Perpetual Guardian, there is no cost to book the vans for a public event or public site.
