Blood pressure: how is yours?

From Afternoons, 1:20 pm on 9 May 2025

When was the last time you got your blood pressure checked?

So, the Heart Foundation is launching a nationwide campaign to encourage us to get our blood pressure checked.

Jesse talks to the foundation's Medical Director Dr Gerry Devlin.
