Time

High blood pressure has no signs and symptoms and therefore it is important to get it checked regularly. The Atrial Fibrillation (AF) check will monitor your heart rhythm to ensure it is normal. AF can lead to an increased risk of stroke, and again, often has no signs or symptoms so many people are unaware that they suffer with AF or high BP.

These appointments are free to staff, however please note that places are limited and on a first-come, first-served basis.

Please note appointments are available on both Tuesday 16th May and Friday 19th May in 01/004, Main Site Tower. More details on how to book can be found at this link.
