The Summerhill College Parent’s Association in conjunction with the school principal, Mr Keogh, will be bringing in a healthcare company to perform cardiac screening here in the school in April. Participation in this screening programme is optional. This is our 2nd year working with AMS.

This year, with the cooperation of Summerhill College, we are delighted to extend the offer to other local schools and sports clubs. Appointments will be available after school hours for parents, siblings or anyone else wishing to participate in this important health check initiative. It is open to anyone age 12 years and over. Just follow the booking instructions HERE for a weekday or Saturday appointment.

AMS is Ireland’s leading mobile Cardiac Screening company. They perform cardiac screening in schools & sports clubs nationwide, ultimately aimed at reducing the incidents of Sudden Adult Death Syndrome (SADS). Approx 2 young people (under 35) die each week in Ireland from SADS. Research has shown that cardiac screening can significantly reduce the incidents of SADS. Please see the link below for further information on cardiac screening.
