The screening will follow one in Cardiff when more than 250 people will receive potentially life-saving heart screenings at North Cardiff Medical Centre, which has become the first GP practice in Wales to partner with Calon Hearts to host a large-scale community heart screening programme within a GP surgery.
Sharon Owen, chief executive officer of Calon Hearts, said: “We have delivered screenings in community venues across Wales for many years, but this is the first time a GP practice has proactively partnered with us to host a large-scale screening programme within a GP surgery setting.
“It demonstrates what can be achieved when primary care and the third sector work together with a shared focus on prevention and early intervention.”
Calon Hearts offers free screenings for people aged 15-and-a-half to 26, with subsidised checks available for those 27 and older.
The screenings aim to identify early signs of heart conditions and support timely medical intervention.
Ms Owen said: “Every screening has the potential to make a difference.”
Calon Hearts has screened more than 34,800 people, trained over 600,000 in CPR, and helped place more than 37,000 defibrillators in communities across Wales.
