Members of the public are encouraged to swing by and avail of the valuable services are provided by the Irish Heart Foundation, including the chance for attendees to get their blood pressure and pulse checked in a bid to promote heart health and early detection of high blood pressure, a leading cause of cardiovascular disease.

The Mobile Health Unit offers up to 10,000 free blood pressure checks annually, helping to identify individuals who may be unaware of their hypertension.

Expert nurses provide lifestyle advice and information on maintaining heart health during the checks, which can help detect atrial fibrillation, an irregular heartbeat that can lead to serious health issues.
