PHARMACIES in Huddersfield are to offer free blood pressure tests.

The checks will be done at Rowlands Pharmacies in Huddersfield.

The tests, which run all this week, are part of the national Know your Numbers! Week.

The pharmacies, in Fitzwilliam Street, Wakefield Road, Moldgreen, and Shelley Lane, Kirkburton are taking part in the nation’s biggest blood pressure testing event run by UK charity the Blood Pressure Association.

One in three adults in the UK – that’s 16 million – have high blood pressure.
