Hypertension Awareness Event in Bexhill-on-Sea
Hypertension is also known as high or raised blood pressure. The higher the pressure, the harder the heart must pump. It is a serious medical condition and can increase the risk of heart, brain, kidney, and other diseases.
People from the most deprived areas in England are 30% more likely than the least deprived to have high blood pressure which is why it is vital to identify it early in patients to address the health inequalities that exist in some communities in Sussex.
Aware that within the Sussex integrated care system only 64.6% of those estimated to have hypertension had been 'detected', Little Common and Old Town Surgeries in Bexhill-on-Sea joined forces with their local Primary Care Network and public health organisation OneYou East Sussex, to hold a hypertension awareness event led by Dr Phil Stocks.
