CRY has reluctantly taken the decision to postpone all cardiac screening events up until the end of July. We appreciate this will be disappointing for the families and supporters who are funding these events as well as those people who have booked appointments, but it is a necessary course of action due to Government lockdown restrictions and a number of key factors, including:

• The redeployment of our doctors, technicians and other associated medical staff into necessary frontline roles within the NHS
• Cancellation of travel arrangements and screening venues (such as schools and community centres)
• An increase in cancellations / unattended appointments due to health concerns or last-minute decisions to self-isolate

Please be reassured these events will be rescheduled and all confirmed appointments will be offered on the rescheduled date. We will, of course, liaise with you regarding new screening dates and when CRY’s screening team is able to confirm the booking.

While screening events are currently postponed and we are not able to offer any new bookings, you can still register your interest by clicking here and we will email you when screening events are available again.

Due to this unprecedented and evolving situation of COVID-19, we will be reviewing the status of CRY’s screening programme on an ongoing basis.

As a team, we are doing our very best to monitor and mitigate the impact of COVID-19 on our services. In line with Government advice, the CRY office is closed but members of our staff are working from home and will be available to assist with any queries you may have, either via phone or email.

We appreciate your understanding at this time and we are sure you’ll agree that the health and wellbeing of all our supporters, staff and those who CRY strives to help on a daily basis, is our primary concern.
