Frequently asked questions about CRY's screening programme
Why isn't the screening event nearer to me?
CRY screenings are generally funded by Memorial Funds which have been set up following the tragic death of a young person due to a young sudden cardiac death. The families, friends and local communities affected often raise funds to bring the screening service to their area, which means the locations of the CRY screenings are picked by them. CRY does try to encourage the free screening service to cover as much as the UK as possible and are very proud of our supporters and families who help us screen nearly 30,000 people each year.
CRY's screening interest email notification list is separated into regions across the UK - some of these regions can cover larger areas than others. You may well be notified of screenings that are further away than expected. If you think you are getting emails for the wrong area you can update your region selection via our website here.
I can never book a screening, they are fully booked too quickly. Is there a waiting list?
Unfortunately, we can only hold screenings when and where we are resourced to do so, and that can mean there are some areas of the UK where screenings are booked out very quickly. CRY currently has over 50,000 registered on our interest list to be updated about upcoming cardiac screening events, with such high demand we are trying our best to screen as many people as possible.
How are the screening events funded?
CRY screenings are generally funded by Memorial Funds which have been set up following the tragic death of a young person due to a young sudden cardiac death. The families, friends and local communities affected often raise funds to operate the screening events. The cost of each appointment at a screening event needs £50 worth of fundraising to take place. There are other costs and resources required to operate this programme which are funded by Cardiac Risk in the Young itself.
CRY believes every young person should have the choice to be screened for an undiagnosed cardiac condition, and thanks to the tireless efforts of our supporters we have screened over 225,000 young people since we began in 1995.
