Queen’s medical students SWOT up on blood pressure checks

Medical students at Queen’s are finding innovative ways to help keep blood pressure down, at home and abroad.

The SWOT (Students Working Overseas Trust) Blood Pressure Clinics are popping up in the local community giving free blood pressure checks and practical health advice. And any donations received go towards buying medical equipment for students' international medical electives.
Supported by Queen’s Annual Fund, the initiative also helps students to boost their skills by working directly with the public.

Queen's Foundation Board member Gina Copty recently called by to show her support: “It was a real joy to see Queen's medical students in action at their blood pressure clinic in CastleCourt. They were extremely professional in how they conducted their work and yet they were warm and welcoming to everyone.

“What really stood out for me was the way they gently encouraged people to take a moment to prioritise their health. They did it in a fun way and made everyone at the clinic feel at ease. Whilst I was there I got my blood pressured checked too and I am glad to report that I got the all-clear!

“Initiatives like SWOT’s Blood Pressure Clinics show how small, practical actions can have a lasting impact on people’s health and wellbeing. I am so proud of Queen's medical students - they are truly helping shape a better, and healthier world."
