Members Cardiac Screening Offer

Members Cardiac Screening Offer

  • 31/12/2022

Take advantage of this fantastic offer from the Richmond Heavies Foundation and New Victoria Hospital.

Through our partnership with New Victoria Hospital, The Richmond Heavies Foundation has secured an exclusive and exciting opportunity for club members to be cardiac screened for a fraction of the normal price. 

For just £60, current Richmond members can book an appointment at the New Victoria Hospital and an ECG will be conducted, with the results reviewed by one of the in-house cardiac consultants along with a pre-circulated lifestyle questionnaire. This service would normally cost over £300! If any issues are detected, patients can either be referred for further tests via their private medical insurance, choose to continue further treatment self-funded or be referred back to their GP and the NHS. 

This programme is an extension of the screening programme for players and coaches that has already covered 450 people, and reflects the Richmond Heavies Foundation’s commitment to the early detection of potentially life threatening cardiac issues.
