BREAKING NEWS: FREE STROKE AWARENESS TESTS AT EVENTS IN CORNWALL

17 Jan, 2023 | Return|

CPHA part of the GFCT Charity are pleased to offer FREE blood pressure and basic Kardia ECG tests at our future health test events in Cornwall, starting at our Liskeard event on the 1st February

These tests can act as indicators of potentially serious underlying health conditions, some of which may lead to a stroke in the future. 

This exciting initiative is led by Helen Dale-Sleeman who is a Specialist Stroke Nurse and East Team Lead at the Cornwall Partnership NHS Foundation Trust. Helen and her team will carry out the tests at our health events and will be happy to talk it through with you on the night.

There is no need to pre-book the blood pressure and Kardia ECG tests but to be eligible you need to register for at least one of the other health tests on offer at the event, details of future events and how to register can be found here.

Please take advantage of this opportunity and avoid being one of the estimated over half a million people in the UK putting their health at risk by not knowing they have high blood pressure.
