Free Blood Pressure and Pulse Checks by Irish Heart Foundation
As part of our ongoing commitment to health and wellbeing, we are hosting a free blood pressure and pulse check event on Wednesday, April 16th, 2025. The event will take place at The Digital Depot Car Park at The Digital Hub in Dublin 8, from 10:30 am to 4:15 pm.
This event is open to everyone in the community, whether you’re a first-time visitor or a regular at The Digital Hub. No appointments are necessary – just drop by at your convenience, and our team will take care of the rest!
Why Should You Attend?
High blood pressure is a silent health issue that affects millions of people, often without them realising it. In fact, 2 in 3 adults over the age of 50 have high blood pressure, many of whom are unaware of their condition. This makes regular checks crucial, as high blood pressure can increase the risk of serious health problems, including heart disease and stroke.
By attending this free event, you’ll have the opportunity to get your blood pressure and pulse checked by the professionals from the Irish Heart Foundation’s Mobile Health Unit. These quick and simple tests could potentially prevent future health issues and help you take control of your heart health.
What to Expect During the Event
The event will feature the following services and resources to help you understand and improve your health:
-
Free Blood Pressure and Pulse Checks: Trained professionals from the Irish Heart Foundation will be available to check your blood pressure and pulse at no cost to you. These checks are quick, easy, and could offer important insights into your overall health.
-
Risk Factor Assessments: Along with your blood pressure check, you’ll receive a personalised risk factor assessment. This helps you understand your individual health risks and what you can do to manage them effectively.
-
Personalised Heart Health Advice: After your check-up, you’ll have the opportunity to speak one-on-one with trained Irish Heart Foundation nurses. They will provide tailored heart health advice to help you make informed decisions about your lifestyle and wellbeing.
-
Tips for Reducing Your Risk of Heart Disease and Stroke: In addition to health checks, the nurses will offer valuable tips on how to reduce your risk of heart disease and stroke, including advice on diet, exercise, and other lifestyle changes.
This event offers a unique chance to not only monitor your health but also take proactive steps to improve it.
No Appointment Necessary – Just Drop By!
One of the best parts of this event is how accessible it is. No appointment is needed – simply drop by during the event hours (from 10:30 am to 4:15 pm) at The Digital Depot Car Park in The Digital Hub.
