Discover Fulham (part of the Fulham Broadway Business Improvement District) is committed to the safety and health of our businesses. Last year we installed four defibrillators throughout the BID area. We are now delivering an ongoing campaign to ensure employees throughout the BID area have access to Emergency First Aid training.
To continue this work, Discover Fulham has partnered with Cardiac Risk in the Young and Chelsea FC to deliver free heart screenings for your employees.
Screenings are available for employees aged between 14 and 35, with timed slots available.

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.
What will happen if I am found to have a condition?It would depend on the condition. Although many of the conditions are not ‘curable’ they are all treatable and treatments range from lifestyle adaptations to drug therapy or, in some cases, surgery.
