Healthy Hearts

Learn about heart health, including prevention strategies and lifestyle choices to maintain a strong cardiovascular system.

Managing your blood pressure

High blood pressure is very common but it leaves no clues, because it has no symptoms. Knowing you have high blood pressure could prevent life-threatening complications like heart attack and stroke.

NHS Health Checks

An NHS Health Check is a free check-up of your overall health. If you're aged 40-74 and don't have a pre-existing condition, you may be eligible for a free NHS Health Check.

Heart Health Support Programme

Your GP practice may be taking part in a free NHS programme, helping people keep their hearts healthy by managing blood pressure.

Stopping smoking

Stopping smoking is one of the best things you will ever do for your health. Quitting is much easier when you get the right support and there are lots of options to choose from.

Healthier drinking habits

Reducing alcohol intake significantly enhances health, energy levels, aids weight loss, and saves money. Less frequent drinking can reduce the risk of high blood pressure. With accessible support, cutting down is simpler than imagined. We offer practical tips and tools to start today.

Keeping Active

Staying active is essential for cardiovascular health, as regular exercise strengthens the heart muscle, improves blood flow, and reduces the risk of high blood pressure. Physical activity also aids in maintaining a healthy weight, lowering cholesterol, and managing blood sugar levels, all of which help prevent heart disease.
