                                        Today is World Heart Day β Heart disease remains a leading cause of mortality in the UK and having raised blood pressure is a significant risk factor. An estimated 80% of cardiovascular disease, including stroke and heart disease, is preventable.
 
Today, I popped into Weldricks Pharmacy in Catcliffe to meet one of the many fantastic pharmaceutical teams we have here in Rotherham, talk about the wide range of services they offer and get a free blood pressure check to ensure I am kept healthy and aware of the risks of raised blood pressure. I was blown away by their knowledge, kindness and patience, and Keeyan assured me my blood pressure was normal!
