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."
