QLD pressure stations

PDF Print E-mail Enlarge text size Reduce text size
There are two available options for participation in Know your numbers  in Queensland. Pharmacies have the option of either participating in the week long campaign or participating on a permanent basis (year long).

Option 1: Annual pressure station (week long 17th – 23rd May 2010)
You can register to participate in the Know your numbers campaign held annually in May.

Pressure stations are encouraged to check at least 100 people throughout the Know your numbers annual week long campaign.

Option 2: Permanent pressure station in Pharmacy (year long)
Many pharmacies currently offer blood pressure checks throughout the year to customers. We encourage pharmacies that currently offer this service to continue to do so and or those that are interested in starting this service to register to participate as a Know your numbers permanent pressure station.

Resources are provided to support blood pressure checks throughout the year including specifically designed in-store promotional materials.

Permanent pressure stations are encouraged to check at least 300 people throughout the year.
