Excellent news for Stroke Survivors, opportunities to reduce disability and improve quality of life after stroke 🧠 @NHSEngland @HargrovesDavid @CatBates3

[We are Primary Care @PrimaryCareNHS]

It’s #KnowYourNumbersWeek, and we’re urging people over 40 to get their #BloodPressure tested to reduce the risk of heart attack and stroke.

We're raising awareness of the access points that people can get their blood pressure checked, including community pharmacies.

[NHS England @NHSEngland]

Keep your high blood pressure under control to reduce the risk of heart attack and stroke.

It’s never been easier to get it checked. If you're over 40, visit your local NHS pharmacy for a blood pressure test to #KnowYourNumbers. https://t.co/j56kZhMaFh

Looking forward to talking about CVD Recovery. Will talk about the WHY and the HOW. By recovering quickly not only do we save lives and reduce health inequalities, but we also help our colleagues in socialcare, help flow through hospitals, boost the economy and help the climate.

2. Using data to reduce unwarranted clinical variation is the first step. @OHID the #CVDPrevent Data&Improvement Tool are really helpful. @FrimleyHC and @NHSKMCCG have already seen great results when using data.

[We are Primary Care @PrimaryCareNHS]

In this blog, @Shahed__Ahmad and @davidwebb_1 consider how the NHS #CommunityPharmacy Blood Pressure Check Service is saving lives by making it easy for people to ‘know their numbers’.

The NHS will be offering home blood pressure monitors to 220,000 people with uncontrolled high blood pressure.

Regular home blood pressure checks will help to catch conditions like heart attacks and strokes earlier and save thousands of lives. Learn more. https://t.co/HNPJ1bvG0N

#WorldStrokeDay . Time is brain 🧠. Many of the risk factors for stroke are modifiable. The National Stroke Programme @NHSEngland is working in close collaboration with 20 amazing Integrated Stroke Delivery Networks and in partnership with @TheStrokeAssoc to improve stroke care.

'I was the one in ten who was saved. That's why I signed up.'

The @GoodSamApp work with ambulance services to alert people trained in CPR to nearby cardiac arrests whilst an ambulance is on the way. If you're trained in CPR, sign up to become a responder. https://t.co/EiTHeWcwyV

[Prof Nick Linker @ProfNickLinker]

Managing modifiable risk factors, including weight, is an essential part of managing AF and even if this is adopted in moderation, this can make a big difference to the frequency and severity of AF that people have. @NHSEngland @TheBHF @PrimaryCareNHS

“In less than a year, the networks have not only led the response to Covid but established a new integrated way of working to create services that are moulded around the individual” @BTSrespiratory @NHSEngland @Sahera90421350 @lunguk @NicolaKNHSEng

[Taskforce For Lung Health @lungtaskforce]

In the past, lung disease hasn't had the same priority as diseases like cancer, heart disease and stroke. Lung disease is often invisible, which means that you can’t obviously see when people are unwell. Read more about why lung health matters: https://t.co/ByOxJgD9SE
