This programme is for people who have been recommended NHS support by their GP because they have high blood pressure (hypertension) and want to improve their long-term health.
High blood pressure can increase your risk of future health problems such as stroke, heart disease, kidney disease and dementia. The good news? Making small lifestyle changes now can help protect your long-term health and the NHS is here to support you.
The Healthier You: Long Term Conditions Prevention Programme is a friendly NHS programme designed to help you build healthier habits and reduce your risk of developing serious health conditions in the future.
