FAQs
We understand you may have questions relating to our risk detection programme, here are some of the most frequently asked questions.
What criteria do I need to meet to attend our Cardiovascular Risk Detection Programme?
When you book, we ask about your medical history and at present, this can’t be captured online.
Can I attend the programme if I have a heart condition?
That depends on what the heart condition is. This will be discussed with you when you make your appointment.
I’ve put on some weight since my last appointment. Will I get ‘told off’?
Absolutely not! There are many reasons why you may have gained weight. We are here to help you identify ways to reduce all of your cardiovascular risks.
Do I need to do anything before attending my appointment?
We advise not to undertake rigorous exercise or have caffeine 30 minutes before your appointment, to wear loose comfortable clothing as you will need to remove your top for your ECG, don’t wear stockings or tights, and don’t use body lotion or moisturiser.
How often can I attend the risk detection programme?
We screen every 5 years.
