High blood pressure contributes to around half of all strokes, and 500,000 people are living with undiagnosed atrial fibrillation – both conditions that are treatable.
We welcome this new digital means of checking and managing your risk of stroke as an option for patients.
📱 A new Digital NHS Health Check will be rolled out next spring alongside existing face-to-face appointments to increase access and free up GP time.
It will deliver an additional one million checks for patients preventing 400 heart attacks and strokes in the first four years.
