CRY's Mobile Screening Programme

CRY is able to book a mobile screening team of medically qualified personnel, who will visit sports clubs and other venues on request to screen people between the ages of 14 – 35.

Younger children can be included by special request, but ordinarily we can only see young people of 14 years and above.  This is because ECG Testing on pre-pubescent children is inconclusive (see FAQs about screening).

Please note that we cannot yet undertake screening or testing in state schools due to ethical restrictions.

Our Screening Team consists of a Cardiologist, an Echo Technician, an ECG Technician and a Screening Manager who will set up the equipment on site. 

Clients who are invited to attend screenings will be required to sign a Consent Form and complete a Health Questionnaire, prior to the date of the screening. It must be emphasised that if a diagnosis of a cardiac condition is confirmed it may have implications with regard to Life Insurance and Mortgage Application for the individual, hence the need for a signed Consent Form.

After the date of the screening, every person's ECG/ECHO, completed Health Questionnaire and Consent Form will be forwarded to CRY's expert Cardiologists for analysis.  Any person who is considered to have an abnormal ECG will be followed-up and invited to have full cardiac evaluation.
