As the colder months arrive, now is a great time to focus on your health and wellbeing. 🍂
Don't forget about our blood pressure monitor borrowing scheme, a simple and stress-free way to keep an eye on your blood pressure from the comfort of your own home!
How it works:
1. Head to your local library.
2. Check out a kit just like you would a book.
3. Follow the included instructions to monitor your heart health at home.

We also have freestanding monitors for walk-in use at Harlow Library and Great Parndon Library!

Knowing your numbers is one of the best things you can do for your long-term wellness. ❤️
