Jamal Al-Karim Mosque in Gloucester will be hosting a community health check event on Saturday 13 September, between 10am and 2pm.
This is an opportunity for members of the community to meet some of our NHS outreach teams, speak to health professionals, get a free blood pressure check, and find out about the local NHS services available.
Oonagh Wilson, Clinical Lead, Community Outreach Vaccination and Health team, said: “The Gloucestershire Health and Care NHS Foundation Trust (GHC) Outreach team will be there on the day, offering people the opportunity to have simple health checks, including blood pressure checks.
“The team can also chat about changes people can make to their lifestyles to support good health, such as increasing exercise, as well as give information about local services they can access. The checks are free and open to all.”
Bilal Lala, Non-Executive Director for GHC, added: “This is an excellent opportunity for all members of the community to drop in, without the need for an appointment, and have a health check. It is also a chance for people to find out more about health service provision in Gloucestershire, as well as provide valued feedback to healthcare professionals, to help shape services for the future.”
This free drop-in event is open to all members of the community, of any age or gender. If you would like a free health check, but can’t make it to this event, our Community Outreach Vaccination and Health team, together with our One Gloucestershire health and care partners, are supporting the Blood Pressure UK campaign, ‘Know Your Numbers’, all year round.
