We had a conversation with a parent that really highlighted why accessible cardiac screening matters in grassroots sport.
Laura had an undiagnosed heart condition for 30 years, only discovered through an ECG when she was pregnant with her son.
That experience led her to set up ECG testing for her son’s football team, Hamilton Panthers Football Club through North Riding FA.
“It would’ve been completely out of my reach to do that privately.”
This is exactly why bringing cardiac screening into clubs is so important - at around half the cost of private testing, it makes potentially life-saving checks far more accessible directly at the point of need.
North Riding County Football Association are helping lead the way in their region, showing what’s possible when screening is made available at grassroots level.
We are proud to be working in this space and supporting the expansion of cardiac screening across football.
Who’s next? ⚽❤️
