May Measurement Month and World Hypertension Day 2025
Published: 30 May 2025
The Glasgow Blood Pressure team held events throughout the month of may
We are thrilled to share the latest update from the Glasgow Blood Pressure Clinic team in their mission to raise awareness about hypertension. The team carried out four events throughout May 2025, to coincide with May Measurement Month and World Hypertension Day. This was at the Glasgow Central Mosque (9th of May 2025), Glasgow Gurdwara (11th of May 2025), University of Glasgow (12th of May 2025) and St Enoch Centre (17th of May 2025). The event was co-organised by our fantastic volunteers Nukman Salimin (4th Year Medical Student, University of Glasgow) and Usmaan Razzaq (5th Year Medical Student, University of Glasgow) with guidance from Dr Stefanie Lip (Lead), Dr Linsay McCallum, Professor Christian Delles and Professor Sandosh Padmanabhan. The team of 66 volunteers measured blood pressures of 641 individuals. The events was supported by the British Heart Foundation.
The dedicated volunteer team included nurses (Glasgow Blood Pressure Clinic), research nurses (Glasgow Clinical Research Facility), medical students, nursing students, resident doctors, early career researchers and medical consultants all sharing a passion to improve cardiovascular health of the community. We are delighted to announce that this year saw our largest team of volunteers to date! One of the most rewarding aspects of these events has been hearing from participants who have made positive changes in their lives as a result of our events. We were especially pleased with the success of our first event at the St Enoch Shopping Centre, which saw an excellent turnout from the public.
We hope to return in May 2026 and warmly invite you to join us in raising awareness about hypertension and helping more people lead healthier lives.
