High blood pressure (hypertension) is often called a “silent killer” because it usually has no symptoms, but it can significantly increase your risk of heart attacks, strokes and kidney disease if left untreated. The only way to know your numbers is to get your blood pressure checked. 💙🩺✨

The good news is that checks are quick, simple and often available at your local pharmacy without needing an appointment. Many pharmacies offer free NHS blood pressure checks for people aged 40 and over, making it easier than ever to stay on top of your health.

Getting your blood pressure checked can:
• Detect problems early before symptoms appear 🔍💙
• Help prevent serious health conditions 🫀⚠️
• Give you advice on lifestyle changes if needed 🌿✨
• Support long-term heart health 📊💪

Taking a few minutes to check your blood pressure could make a life-saving difference. 💙✨

Too many women still die from preventable causes during pregnancy and childbirth.

Skilled care before, during, and after birth can save lives — and midwives are best placed to provide it.

📊 Achieving universal coverage of midwife-delivered interventions by 2035 could avert 67% of these deaths.
⚠️ But the world is short of one million midwives.

Urgent action is needed to grow, support, and sustain the global midwifery workforce.

Today, 2nd May, is PPA2 day

PPA2 (Inorganic Pyrophosphatase 2) deficiency is a severe genetic mitochondrial disorder causing sudden cardiac arrest or death in children and young adults, often triggered by fever, viral illness, or alcohol. It is a rare condition with limited documented cases (roughly 60–70 known cases as of 2023–2025).

While no specific curative treatment exists, survivors typically require an Implantable Cardioverter-Defibrillator (ICD) to manage fatal arrhythmias. Survivors need long-term care from cardiology and metabolic specialists.

Heart of PPA2 is a community of families, caregivers, and advocates united by the impact of PPA2 deficiency. The group works to raise awareness, drive research, and provide support, with members spanning from Australia to North America and Europe.
