A PHARMACY in Tyldesley is offering free blood pressure checks.

Davinia Pharmacy on Elliot Street has been offering the tests as part of a Blood Pressure UK awareness campaign called Know Your Numbers.

The free tests will be available until September 27 and they are also providing free aids to help people who are eligible to quit smoking during Stoptober.

The pharmacy's managing director Ashok Mehta said: "People are walking around with high blood pressure and they have no idea. We want to make sure they know their numbers."
