Event description: The Stroke Awareness day will take place in Bridgnorth Library, Listley Street on 13th April This is a new location for the event which is immediately adjacent to the car parks.

This event has taken place over a number of years and is replicated around this District in most towns. The data collected is used by the Stroke Association as part of an ongoing research project.
High blood pressure increases an individuals chance of experiencing a stroke, which can be a life changing event.

The possibilty can be reduced with medication, but the first step is to KNOW YOUR OWN BLOOD PRESSURE!

The objective is to make measurements of blood pressure , height and weight and make recommendations as required. The event is manned by nurses and paramedics, it is totally free to take part and confidential.

So please take part, only ten minutes of your time, nothing to loose !
