Thank you to everyone who has sent in their home blood pressure readings or popped in to use our Health Pod following our targeted message 🩺💙

We’ve had an amazing response — over 320 blood pressures recorded so far 📊👏

We’re now working through all of this data and will have reviewed everything soon. It hasn’t been possible to message everyone about their results just yet, so thank you for your patience ⏳

If your blood pressure is not to target, you will receive a message or be contacted about next steps within the next 3 weeks 📬

If your blood pressure was in the healthy range (under 135/85) — well done and keep up your healthy lifestyle choices! 🌿
