WATCH:  Find out more about why you should get your blood pressure checked, as part of May Measurement Month

‌The ‘May Measurement Month’ campaign, led by the International Society of Hypertension (ISH) and the World Hypertension League (WHL) aims to measure millions of people’s blood pressure to find out just how big the problem is and demonstrate to governments across the world why they need to raise public awareness and provide us all with better blood pressure screening facilities and treatment.

All you have to do to get involved and have your blood pressure checked is be over 18 years old and ideally not have had your blood pressure recorded in the past year. But don’t worry if you have — you can still take part and it’s easy.

The whole process will only take around 10-15 minutes and at the end you will leave knowing what your blood pressure is and if you need to do anything about it. The data from the screening will be analysed along with the results of millions of others worldwide. The results will be announced once the analysis is complete.
