Be kind to your kidneys, stay healthy + free blood pressure checks

Visit Southside Shopping Centre, Wed 20 Dec, 1pm to 5.30pm

Wandsworth council is running a ‘Being kind to your kidneys’ event to help people understand more about Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD). CKD is a long-term condition where the kidneys do not work as well as they should. 

CKD does not usually cause symptoms until it reaches a more serious stage, but it does affect your overall health and increases your risk of other conditions such as heart disease and stroke. It can affect anyone, but it's more common in people who are black or of South Asian origin.

Did you know that high blood pressure and diabetes are two of the most common causes of CKD? This is why we’re offering FREE blood pressure checks.

Come and have a chat about kidney health + get a free blood pressure check. 

Taking part in prevention actions can be one of the best forms of medicine, and taking regular care of all aspects of our health plays a key role.
