A resting recording of your heart’s electrical activity.
Each recording is reviewed through our reporting pathway.
Enquire about a screening day at a suitable club venue.
An ECG records your heart’s electrical activity and can identify findings that need further assessment. Screening gives participants more information about their heart health, alongside their symptoms, medical history and family history.
Tell us about relevant symptoms, medical history and family history. Suitability is reviewed before screening.
We use the portable QT Medical PCA500 system to record a resting 12-lead ECG.
Your recording is reviewed by a UK cardiologist. We confirm the reporting timeframe and how you receive your result before booking.
If further assessment is recommended, you receive advice on the appropriate next step. Additional tests and consultations are separate from the screening fee.

Discuss screening for your clubPrivate heart assessment prices vary by clinic and what is included. Published provider examples put an ECG with an initial consultant cardiologist consultation at around £275–£360. Some clinics include the ECG in a package; others charge separately.
When comparing prices, check whether you are paying for an ECG recording, specialist interpretation, or a full consultation with a cardiologist.
At Puri Pharmacy, our sports cardiac screening provides a focused starting point for athletes who want to understand their heart health. Your screening fee and what it includes are explained before you book.
Consultant reporting of your ECG is different from a full cardiologist consultation. If further assessment or tests are recommended, we explain the next steps and whether additional charges apply.

Your club does not have to cover the full cost directly. Screening can be supported by local businesses, existing sponsors, fundraising or a combination of contributions.
An existing club sponsor or local business can cover screening for an agreed number of players. This gives them a clear, practical way to support player welfare. The club could offer recognition through a thank-you post, its website or a matchday programme. Sponsorship does not give access to players’ medical information.
You do not need one sponsor to fund everything. Two or three businesses can contribute towards a squad screening day, with the funding target based on the number of players and the agreed quote.
The club or a sponsor can subsidise screening, with players paying the remaining balance. This can make access more affordable while keeping the club’s contribution manageable.
A sponsored challenge, matchday collection or club event can raise funds towards screening. Set a clear target and explain exactly what the money will cover.
At Southall FC, we worked with the club to engage local businesses and existing sponsors to explore support for screening. We understand the financial pressures clubs face, and we are happy to discuss a similar approach for your club.
Tell us your club’s location, approximate player numbers and preferred timing. We can provide a quote and help outline a proposal you can take to potential sponsors.

Prepare for your ECG, understand the limits of screening and plan a practical club screening day.
If your club has offered cardiac screening, you may be wondering what the test involves. A resting ECG is usually quick and
Arranging ECG screening for your football club starts with a practical question: how can you make it accessible to participants while providing

Here are detailed answers to the frequently asked questions about 12-Lead ECGs
Fitness does not rule out an underlying heart condition. Some conditions may cause few or no obvious symptoms. Screening can help identify findings that need further assessment, but it cannot detect every condition or guarantee safe participation in sport.
An electrocardiogram, or ECG, records your heart’s electrical activity, including its rate and rhythm. A 12-lead ECG provides several different views of that activity to help a clinician interpret the recording.
Your relevant medical history, family history and symptoms are reviewed. Electrodes are positioned on your chest and limbs, and you rest while the ECG is recorded. You will need to expose your chest for electrode placement. The recording is then sent for cardiologist review.
A resting ECG is usually painless. No electricity is passed into your body. You may feel slight discomfort when the adhesive electrodes are removed, and some people experience minor skin irritation.
No. Our club screening offer includes a resting 12-lead ECG and cardiologist reporting. An echocardiogram is a separate ultrasound examination of the heart’s structure and function. If further tests are recommended, these require separate arrangements.
This screening is not a fitness-to-play certificate. Participation advice depends on your symptoms, history, findings and any requirements set by your sporting organisation. Follow any recommendation for further assessment.
Tell your GP, especially if the death was unexplained or involved a suspected inherited heart condition. You may need specialist family assessment rather than a standalone ECG. Please also disclose this history when enquiring about screening.
Club screening costs £37 + VAT per participant, including a resting 12-lead ECG and UK cardiologist reporting. Event arrangements and any additional charges are confirmed before booking. Further investigations, specialist consultations and treatment are not included.
Clinical results are confidential. They are not automatically provided to your club. Any sharing follows the applicable consent and clinical information-sharing arrangements.
Wear a top that is easy to remove and avoid applying lotions, oils or talcum powder to your chest before the appointment. Follow your booking instructions and complete any requested questionnaire. Contact us beforehand about accessibility needs or chaperone arrangements.
Puri Pharmacy records your ECG using the QT Medical PCA500 system. Your recording is reviewed and interpreted by a UK cardiologist through the Cardiologic pathway.
We confirm the expected reporting timeframe and how you will receive your result before booking. Cardiologist review is separate from recording the ECG, so a final result may not be available at the appointment.
An unusual finding does not automatically mean you have a heart condition. Further assessment may be recommended to understand its significance. You will receive guidance on the next step, which may involve your GP or a cardiology specialist.
No. A normal ECG does not exclude every heart condition. Some problems may not appear on a resting recording. Seek medical advice about symptoms or a concerning family history even if your ECG has been reported as normal.
Players, coaches, referees, volunteers and other club members can enquire. We confirm individual suitability and age eligibility before booking. For under-18s, we must also agree on consent and safeguarding arrangements.
Do not wait for a club screening event. Chest pain, fainting during exercise, unexplained breathlessness or palpitations need medical assessment. If you suspect a heart attack, or someone collapses and is unresponsive, call 999.
Contact us with your location, expected participant numbers and preferred dates. We will discuss availability and the requirements for a suitable private screening space before confirming an event.
There is no single interval suitable for everyone. Repeat assessment depends on your age, symptoms, family history, previous findings and sporting requirements. Ask the reviewing clinician for individual advice.
