Blood is pumped round our body under pressure. If the pressure is too low, you may not get enough blood to your body. If it is too high, this can cause disease.

Research blood pressure – how it is measured and possible treatments if there is a problem.

What other tests might healthcare professionals do and what equipment do the use?

My courses were all especially interesting, I thoroughly enjoyed all of them. All of my lecturers were extremely knowledgeable and I have learnt a lot from them.

Lottie Warren, A Level student

I overcame a couple of barriers by working really hard to get the top grades. My experience was really good, with the course and the lecturers, the residentials and activities, together it was all really good. I had really great teaching support, I could always go to the lecturers and speak to them if I needed to.

David Stenning, Public Services student

The teaching and support was really great, the quality was really great, all the teachers really care about your education as well as your wellbeing, they take everything into consideration and they’re great.
