We have been awarded provider status by the Sport and Exercise Medicine Department of the FA to undertake cardiology screening or cardiac profiling on their behalf. We have multiple mobile screening units that we are able to deploy nationwide. We also provide service to county cricket sides, professional cycling, rugby union and rugby league. We also have a number of fixed sites that players are able to attend in the event that short notice screening is required for compliance issues. |

As part of the health, safety and wellbeing of players, the FA was innovative and a leader in introducing sports cardiology screening 17 years ago. The programme promotes health, care and encourages maximum wellbeing of players.
As part of the FA Medical Education Centre Screening Programme, all scholars are offered the chance to undergo Cardiac Screening. This medical screening programme is funded jointly by the FA and PFA and there is no financial cost to clubs who wish to use this service. We currently look after the majority of all eligible clubs with academies or centres of excellence.
We also look after a large number of senior professional sides. The requirements for senior players have changed. Every player playing in the Premier League or any UEFA competition must have at least one ECG and Echo in their medical folder (FAPL Rule H.11) . It is mandatory for players on international duty to have an annual cardiac assessment.
This involves an Electrocardiogram (ECG) and an Echocardiogram (Echo) and for these tests to be reported on by a Specialist Consultant Cardiologist. We have access to a specialist group of sports cardiologists and all are on the FA panel.
We have been providing a mobile service screening sportsmen and women from a wide range of sports, including FA Scholars for the last 12 years.
We offer a mobile service that in every way duplicates the service that you would receive in a hospital. We have portable digital ECG and Echo systems that can be set up in your medical room or other facility, saving you valuable time and other club resources.
The mobile service brings you unparalleled flexibility and quality.
If you would like to learn more about the issues of sudden cardiac death in sport and how we may be able to help you and your club at all levels, please feel free to contact us directly.
