This year marks the 25th anniversary of World Heart Day, a global campaign that brings people together across six continents to raise awareness and inspire action around cardiovascular health.

Each year, cardiovascular disease (CVD) claims over 20.5 million lives - but up to 80% of premature deaths are preventable through early screening, affordable access to care, and healthier lifestyle choices.

We’re encouraging everyone to make every beat count. Just 30 minutes of exercise a day can significantly reduce your risk and help tackle the global burden of CVD.

Let’s unite to protect our hearts and promote heart health — for ourselves, our communities, and future generations.

Could you have high blood pressure and not know it?

Right now, five million UK adults may be living with undiagnosed high blood pressure - increasing their risk of heart attack, stroke, and kidney disease.

It’s called the “silent killer” for a reason: no symptoms, just risk.

But a simple check at home could be a lifesaver.

✅ Know your numbers
✅ Take control
✅ Make small changes that protect your health

Age doesn’t matter. Everyone should

Found:

We have had a Rabbit soft toy that was found in the Practice yesterday. We would love to reunite it with its owner. It has been kept safe at Reception in the meantime until it is collected.

Thanks.
