This is all part of a new campaign - "Know Your Numbers" and the people who attend this training session will become health activators who with their community engagement skills will be able to offer a blood pressure reading to the local people.
During the training we where told of how screening appointments are being missed by residents within our local area and how vital it is for people to get early detection on not only blood pressure but cervical screening and bowel cancer detection.
We will be holding some health and well-being events to raise awareness to these issues quite soon, so keep posted for more details.
