Commission from Lancashire County Council to upskill community champions to take blood pressure checks and signpost individuals appropriately into local support based on their presenting needs. Champions opportunistically identify adults over the age of 18 who have not previously been diagnosed with high blood pressure and promptly refer them to their GP following a free of charge blood pressure check (at point of contact) whilst ensuring easy access to the service through multiple forms of referral (including self- referral) engaging in a multitude of community outreach activities targeting hard to reach groups and those living in wards with multiple deprivation.
"This is a great service and I'm so pleased that I had my Blood Pressure checked, I can't remember the last time I had it done and I wasn't really aware of the dangers."
