Buckinghamshire Council's "Pump It Up" Campaign

The campaign looks to raise awareness of high blood pressure as a risk factor of cardiovascular disease and encourage residents of all ages to get into the habit of checking their heart health regularly. SiSU Health stations have been newly installed in the familiar, inclusive, and friendly settings of Aylesbury Library and High Wycombe Library.

The health stations can be used for free and offer people living, visiting, and working in Aylesbury and High Wycombe the chance to check their heart health - providing results for Body Mass Index (BMI), blood pressure, heart rate, body composition, perceived stress, and alcohol.

Positioning SiSU Health stations in local libraries ensures they are accessible to people of all ages through the County.

High blood pressure is one of the leading risk factors for cardiovascular disease (CVD). Identifying the risk and taking action early can help prevent more serious issues arising.
