• Data collection arrangements

  Participants will be recruited from a range of settings including those attending routine appointments in primary care (e.g. Health Checks, Blood Tests, etc), routine appointments in outpatients, blood donation appointments, and via direct invitation.

  Our Future Health obtains generic and enduring consent which covers genetic studies, use by researchers locally, elsewhere in the UK and overseas, and by commercial/private companies carrying out biomedical research.

  We aim to collect either a blood sample or a saliva sample from the participant as well as ask them to complete a questionnaire about their lifestyle and health. In addition to the data we collect from participants we will also ask for permission to link to their health and care records stored by NHS Digital.

• Research programme

  It is anticipated that this resource will be valuable across a range of disease areas affecting human health. The projects could span wide aspects of discovery and translational research from internal Our Future Health researchers as well as external researchers from academia and industry.
