This PhD will be one of the first attempts to implement isometric resistance exercise as a therapeutic treatment option within a local authority health check referral pathway.

The post is part funded by Public Health and in the first 2-years, the post holder will work within Public Health to undertake community health checks with the aim of diagnosing individuals who have high blood pressure.
