Use of Bath boards and Bath seats: From the side of the bath sit down on the bathboard. Swivel your legs one at a time over and into the bath. Slide along the bathboard to the centre of the bath. Move forward and lower yourself down onto the bathseat. Remain on the bathseat while you bathe. Getting out of the bath is the reverse of this procedure. Use both your legs and arms to help you to move up onto the bathboard. Slide along towards the end. Swivel your legs one at a time out of the bath before standing. Always use a rubber bathmat to stop your feet from slipping. We also recommend that you have grabrails or taprails fitted. Make sur

Why monitor blood pressure at home? Clinical studies have shown improved detection and treatment of high blood pressure when regular home blood pressure monitoring is conducted in conjunction with a GP. Blood pressure measurement in a doctor's surgery or hospital setting may cause apprehension and produce and elevated reading. Home measurement reduces the effects of outside influences on readings, supplements the doctor's readings and provides a more accurate, complete pressure history. The World Hypertension League recommends regular blood pressure monitoring for everyone using clinically validated blood pressure monitors. Blood pressure monitoring is particularly indicated for those suffering from high blood pressure, or people in high-risk groups such as the overweight, diabetic or elderly. Regular blood pressure monitoring can help prevent strokes and other cardiovascular diseases.
