Know Your Numbers! Week
Blood Pressure UK's annual September week urging adults to get their blood pressure checked. For years it set up thousands of free 'Pressure Stations' in pharmacies, workplaces and public places; it now concentrates on home monitoring and finding the 'missing millions' with undiagnosed high blood pressure.

Sponsor reports activity only: more than 2,700 Pressure Stations in 2007 and over 3,000 in 2008 (reaching 'a quarter of a million people'), over 100,000 checks in 2010, and press reach of 4.08 million in 2025. No evaluation of diagnosis or treatment outcomes found.

Research notes
Start year 2001 is inferred: the sponsor's page calls 2021 the '21st' Know Your Numbers! Week and gives details only from 2007. The sponsor's 2007 'quarter of a million' figure does not match its own regional readings table (about 24,700 readings), so treat reach claims with caution.
