CRY are running two screening clinics at Nicolson Institute on 5th & 6th September. More details below, including how to book an appointment.

What is the purpose of cardiac screening?
Sometimes an individual may have a cardiac abnormality without any symptoms. Screening with an electrocardiogram (ECG) is aimed at identifying people with conditions such as heart muscles disorders or electrical faults of the heart.

Is screening just for athletes?
At CRY, we believe all young people aged 14-35 should have the opportunity to be screened. Cardiac incidents can take place at any time. They are not limited to high-intensity sport; they may occur just jogging across the park or when asleep at night. The screenings programme is not just for people who play sport.

Langabhat Medical Practice will be operating on reduced capacity between 10:30am and 12:30pm on Thursday 14th August to allow staff to attend the funeral of our colleague and friend Michelle Price. Michelle was a valued member of our dispensary team, bringing her own unique friendship, laughter and fun to everyday and her absence will be felt across the whole practice.

Our thoughts and deepest sympathy are with Michelle's family and friends at this difficult time.

All practice sites will remain open for our normal operating hours but you may experience a delay in calls being answered. We would appreciate it if you can call back later in the day or email your enquiry to wi.langahbat@nhs.scot. Thank you for your patience and understanding.
