Free blood pressure checks in Spalding this weekend

An event that could save your life returns to the South Holland Centre this weekend.

The Rotary Club of South Holland is holding Know Your Blood Pressure sessions on Saturday.

Between 10am and 3pm professionals will be on hand to check your blood pressure for free as part of the campaign launched by Rotary International and the Stroke Association.

A spokesman for the Rotary said: “The Rotary Club of South Holland have co-ordinated this day for the last few years and would like to thank the many local busy health professionals who give up their own time to help on the day.

“As a result, each year, several people have been advised to see their doctor, sometimes urgently and as a result we are certain that lives have been saved.

“Health professionals can give advice if there is anything significant learned from the very simple and painless test. It takes only a few minutes to take part in this important test.“
