Raheny Shamrock AC, for the benefits of members, plans to offer to members, the opportunity to avail of a mobile Cardiac Screening Programme delivered by Advanced Medical Services (AMS) specifically designed for sports clubs and communities.
The screening, which takes 20 minutes, can help identify people with risk of underlying cardiac abnormalities/heart disease.
But like all screening programmes, it cannot guarantee 100% of picking up all cardiac issues including coronary artery disease.
The programme mainly targets people aged between 12-35 years. However, people over this age can benefit from the screening as well.
The screening consists of a:
- Personal & Family History Questionnaire
- Physical examination with Medical Doctor
- Body Max Index (BMI) measurement
- Blood pressure reading
- 12 lead (resting) Electrocardiogram
- Cardiologist Report
The individual fee for the Cardiac Screening service is €79 (the Club doesn’t receive any % of this fee). It is free for anyone with LAYA Health Insurance.
People with other health insurance may be able to claim a % back or it is tax deductible.
The company have online booking/web/email support and a telephone helpline for any questions you may have. Further information available here.
Parents/guardians of juvenile members will complete the on line registration and will accompany 12-15 years olds to the screening.
A minimum number of participants are required for the company to provide the screening service which will take place in the clubhouse. It is open to club members and their families.
If you are interested in taking part please email secretary@rahenyshamrock.ie
