Healthwatch Enfield

Healthwatch Enfield launches hypertension engagement programme in partnership with North Central London Integrated Care Systems.

Community House

Healthwatch Enfield is launching a hypertension engagement programme in partnership with North Central London Integrated Care Systems. Carried out alongside other local Healthwatch organisations in north London, the programme will improve the information, support, and guidance available to local people at risk of hypertension.Hypertension, or high blood pressure, affects around a third of adults in the UK. Its symptoms are often unnoticeable but left untreated it can increase the risk of heart problems like strokes or heart attacks. The only way to diagnose hypertension is by having a blood pressure check.Our engagement programme will work closely with local people from ethnic groups that are historically more likely to have high blood pressure, including black Caribbean, black African, and south Asian communities. We will also be working with groups who are less likely to be registered with a GP due to language barriers, such as Bulgarian and Romanian communities in Enfield.As part of the programme, we will develop concise, accessible, and clear information on hypertension, its risks, where to go in Enfield to get a check, and what preventative action is recommended by the NHS. We will distribute this information throughout the borough and ensure it is available to all online. Alongside this, we will host a series of events for local people to attend.If you run a community group in Enfield and are interesting in taking part in our engagement, we would like to hear from you. Please get in touch with us by calling 0208 373 6283 or by emailing admin@healthwatchenfield.co.uk. Please register by 4.30pm on Tuesday 25th October. Afterwards you would have to register at the desk when you can walk-in for the event tomorrow.
