Cardiac Screening

Dear All,

In order to follow guidelines for best practice in sport, all competitive skaters will now be required to undergo cardiac screening.

The screening is checking for the main causes of sudden cardiac arrest and heart attacks; it includes an ECG exam, and results are given on the day.

Some of you may have had this through your school: in this case, please bring in a copy of your report.

We have organised for ER Training to offer cardial screening to all skaters who require it. This will be carried out outside the hall, in their ambulance, by a GP and a paramedic. The cost is €50.

Possible dates are: 26, 27th January, 2nd February (only one or two of these dates may be available).

For non-competitive skaters the screening is optional.

Please let me know ASAP if you would like to avail of this: email me (sabrinavassia@yahoo.com) or text me (086-8077616) and I will get back to you with a time slot.

Please note that one parent should be present with skaters under 18.
