Know Your Numbers returns for Bromley residents this autumn, offering free blood pressure and pulse checks from One Bromley partners, led by Public Health, Bromley.
Walk-in “pressure stations” will be set up at convenient locations in Mottingham and Penge, offering free checks with no appointment necessary and is open to all adults.
Dr Nada Lemic, Director of Public Health at Bromley Council said, “High blood pressure is often called the ‘silent killer’ for a reason, it rarely shows symptoms but can lead to serious complications if left unchecked. That’s why we’re urging residents to pop in and get a free check during Know Your Numbers Week. It’s quick, easy, and could make all the difference. Knowing your numbers is a powerful first step toward staying healthy and living well.”
Checking your blood pressure and pulse takes just a few minutes and can have a significant impact on your health. Whether for peace of mind or an early warning sign, these simple checks can help detect high blood pressure or an irregular heartbeat, which are often silent indicators of serious health conditions.
Pressure stations will be held in Mottingham and Penge:
| Date | Time | Location |
|---|---|---|
| Monday 8 September 2025 | 10am to 2pm | Cranley Parade, Mottingham, SE9 4DZ |
| Thursday 11 September 2025 | 10am to 3pm | Empire Square, Penge, SE20 7EU |
Can’t make it to a pressure station during Know Your Numbers Week? Consider finding a local community pharmacy offering blood pressure checks, getting a free Vital 5 check at the One Bromley Wellbeing Hub in The Glades Shopping Centre, or trying a home blood pressure monitor instead.
Knowing how to check your blood pressure at home is a powerful skill; it puts you in more control of your health and empowers you to support family and friends too. It is an easy skill to learn and can be useful for a lifetime. Most local pharmacies stock the monitors and the staff can help you choose one that is clinically validated, so you can feel confident in the readings it gives.
Don’t leave your health to chance - know your numbers.
