The Irish Heart Foundation (IHF) is planning a public awareness campaign on high blood pressure to help raise awareness of the condition and encourage people to get their blood pressure checked.

To help plan the campaign, IHF would like to hold an informal focus group with 8-12 people aged 50 and over to chat about what they know about this condition already, what kind of information they’d like about how to manage it and where the best places are to share this information. You do not need to be diagnosed with high blood pressure to take part.

If you’d like to share your opinions in a focus group discussion, please contact Clodagh McCarthy, Health Information Manager at the Irish Heart Foundation, at cmccarthy@irishheart.ie by March 29.

The focus group should take no more than 1 hour and can take place day or evening, whichever suits most participants
