About the event
Spotlight on Science is back! Throughout the year, City St George’s will open its doors to the public for free evening events, themed around key areas of our health research.
The first event of the new series will focus on heart and blood vessel health. Heart disease is the world’s number one killer, mainly through heart attacks and stroke. Blood pressure is a vital measure of the health of your heart.
Come and join our experts to learn more about heart disease and the latest research into treatments and monitoring.
