The petition calling for cardiac screening at age 14 was created by Gill and Stephen Ayling in memory of their son Nathan Bryan. Their advocacy honours Nathan’s memory and all those lost to a #YSCD and could save countless young lives. Will you add your signature? Every name counts. #SignThePetition sbrew.link/PgnCMaIo

The National Screening Committee’s consultation on screening for cardiac conditions linked to sudden cardiac death in young people is now open. CRY is urging that the latest peer-reviewed evidence be fully considered as part of this process. A significant study published in JACC in February 2026 provides important contemporary data on cardiac screening outcomes and directly addresses several longstanding concerns raised in discussions around a national screening programme. Without full consideration of the current evidence base, there is a risk that policy conclusions may fall behind clinical research and international experience.

So many people have contacted CRY wondering if there are others they could talk to who have suffered similarly. CRY has a network of Bereavement Supporters who have themselves been affected by a young sudden cardiac death. They have completed a two-year counselling course so that they can offer support, over the telephone, to others. If you would like to speak about bereavement support or would like advice about expert pathology or cardiology, please contact CRY’s support team on 01737 363222 or email cry@c-r-y.org.uk.

Screening to identify young people at risk is cost-effective when conducted correctly – the conditions can be treated, securing a future for those identified. All young people should have the choice to be tested. Register your interest to be screened here: bit.ly/3xMwzuV
