For 4 years, CRY ran an annual Bereavement Support Day in London that incorporated both expert medical information and workshops for those bereaved by a young sudden cardiac death.

The evaluation forms we received suggested that those who found the expert medical information helpful would have liked more time spent on these talks (particularly requesting the opportunity to ask questions), and those who had benefited from the bereavement workshops said they would have liked more time for bereavement support.

Consequently, the CRY Bereavement Support Day has now been split into 2 separate initiatives - an annual CRY Family Medical Conference Day; and several annual Regional Bereavement Support Days which are held in different parts of the country throughout the year.

The annual CRY Family Medical Conference Day will have expert consultant cardiologists speaking and explaining the life-threatening conditions that can affect young people.

Other expert speakers, such as pathologists and coroners, will also explain their roles in the event of a young sudden cardiac death.

These talks will be followed by workshops, where speakers will be in small groups addressing your specific questions.

It is unfortunately not possible for children under the age of 12 to attend this event
