This week it's week - dedicated to knowing your blood pressure reading and why that is important.
Blood pressure is the term used to describe the strength with which your blood pushes on the sides of your arteries as it's pumped around your body.
If you're aged 40 and over, and are eligible, you may be able to get a free blood pressure check at a local pharmacy.
