Amazing work taking place by DH9 Foundation and Cardiac Risk in the Young . Was an absolute pleasure to make the trip down to Moffat and see for myself the huge number of young people being screened for underlying heart conditions.

Second day of Cardiac Risk in the Young screening underway. We were delighted to have been joined yesterday by Douglas Lumsden MP who sits on the APPG on Sudden Cardiac Death at Westminster.
