Know Your Numbers! Week will take place from 8–14 September 2025. This campaign, run by Blood Pressure UK, is the UK’s biggest blood pressure testing and awareness event.
Around a third of people in the UK have high blood pressure, but most don’t know it. It doesn’t have any symptoms so the only way to find out is to have a blood pressure check.
High blood pressure can lead to heart attacks, strokes, and other illnesses. Once you Know Your Numbers! you can get support to bring your blood pressure under control and prevent these diseases.
Visit Blood Pressure UK’s online resources hub to download their range of home blood pressure monitoring resources for this Know Your Numbers! Week and beyond.
