Free Blood Pressure Health Clinics Expand Across Rural Market Towns

Free Blood Pressure Health Clinics Expand Across Rural Market Towns

15 September 2026

Mobile health teams are offering free, life-saving blood pressure checks across Dales market towns starting today

Healthcare teams from North Yorkshire Council and local NHS trusts are deploying pop-up clinics to identify undiagnosed hypertension across rural communities.

Health officers estimate tens of thousands of regional residents suffer from undetected high blood pressure, increasing heart attack and stroke risks.

Walk-in testing stations are visiting community centres and libraries in Skipton, Settle, Leyburn, and Richmond throughout the week.
