Know Your Numbers Week 2023 – Business toolkit

17 August 2023

Addressing high blood pressure early often improves the outcome of heart health for employees and helps to reduce future healthcare needs and costs. Plus, keeping well means your client’s team are able to be at their best.

Research has found that a slowdown on improvements in cardiovascular diseases in England and Wales could cost £54 billion in health and social care costs between 2020 and 20291. This includes heart disease and strokes.

That’s why it’s important for all businesses to prepare for Know Your Numbers Week.

From 4 to 10 September 2023, it’s all about blood pressure. Some of your client’s employees may have high blood pressure and not know. If left unmanaged, this can cause long-term health troubles.

Download the Know Your Number Week 2023 client email (OFT, 0.05MB) to share the heart health toolkit with your clients.

The toolkit includes:


Guidance and support for line-managers


Resources that your clients can share with their team


Resources for your client’s employees dependent on their policy or health trust


You can also find a wealth of information, tools and support on Bupa’s website, or the British Heart Foundation, Pulmonary Hypertension Association or POTS UK websites.
