A pharmacy is offering free blood pressure checks as part of a national health campaign.
Hutchins Pharmacy in High Road, Loughton is urging local residents to have a heart health check during National Cholesterol Month in October.
Pharmacist Neil Mistry said: “High blood pressure and elevated cholesterol are linked to a number of serious conditions but many people are unaware that they are at risk and are therefore unsure of how to manage this.
“We’re urging locals to adopt a healthy habit and are calling on people to drop by and have a quick blood pressure check with no appointment necessary."
The free checks will be available from October 1.
