2007 Community Blood Pressure awareness

Thurs, May 17, 2007 World Hypertension Day:

Mon, March 26 - Sat March 31, 2007: Role of community pharmacists

A week of free blood pressure checks took place at Coventry pharmacies Mon, March 26 - Sat March 31, 2007. People were able to have a free check at any of the five Coventry Alliance pharmacies which are in Jardine Crescent, Tile Hill; Stoney Stanton Road, Bell Green; Quorn Way, Ernesford Grange; Hipswell Highway, Wyken; and Jubilee Crescent, Radford. The checks were the brainchild of Alliance pharmacy technician Carl Rose who tested his own blood pressure and discovered he had a medical problem needing specialist investigation and treatment at the University Hospital.
