Know your numbers is an annual blood pressure awareness campaign which aims to deliver a prevention message about blood pressure. It highlights the importance of having regular blood pressure checks and helps people to understand the link between blood pressure and stroke. Know your numbers is run by the community, for the community and is fast becoming an annual event.

Pressure stations are established to provide an opportunity for people to stop and check their blood pressure in their local community and to receive information about how to keep their blood pressure low and reduce their risk of stroke.

In 2008, pressure stations will be set up in a variety of public locations throughout Victoria and South East Queensland.  Our pressure station partners are vital in helping to run pressure stations in their local community and include Rotary Clubs and Community Pharmacies and other organisations such as Community Health Services and Hospitals.
