Health stations
Two health stations are also available in Nottingham and Nottinghamshire to get a free, self-service health check in five minutes. The SISU Health Station measures blood pressure, BMI, heart rate, body composition and more – while also helping to identify alcohol-related and physical activity risks and calculates heart age.
