Professor Krishnan Bhaskaran is one of the first researchers to study #OurFutureHealth. He shares how he will use our volunteers' health information to help people live longer, healthier lives:

Our university pop-up clinics made it easier for young people to represent themselves in health research. Students told us their experience of joining #OurFutureHealth on campus: https://ourfuturehealth.org.uk/news/its-super-convenient-for-students-what-happened-when-we-put-clinics-on-campus/

To make health research more inclusive for everyone, we need people from a range of ages to take part. Susan is encouraging young people to join #OurFutureHealth because they will benefit most from health research in future.

Did you know #OurFutureHealth is the most ethnically diverse large-scale UK research programme? Mohammad is studying our data to make healthcare discoveries to benefit underrepresented groups of people. Learn more about using our data for your research: https://research.ourfuturehealth.org.uk/ 🧪

Congratulations to all our Community Champions who are graduating from the initiative this week. We trained 125 Champions to chat to their local communities and spread awareness of #OurFutureHealth. Thank you for your support and for engaging your communities 👏

“It felt surreal. I’d just run a marathon to raise money for bowel cancer, and now I had it myself.” Alison shares her story of bowel cancer and taking part in #OurFutureHealth to improve research into the disease. #BowelCancerAwarenessMonth

We were delighted to welcome Adam Steventon from @ourfuturehealthuk.bsky.social for a workshop with our MSCA fellows. Exploring how large-scale health data can drive earlier detection and prevention supports FutureNeuro’s mission to deliver impact for people affected by brain conditions.

We’re at the Black Health Inequality Summit today, so visit us for a chat about #OurFutureHealth. We’re the UK’s largest health research programme and want to enable more people from ethnic minority backgrounds to represent their communities in future health discoveries. #BlackHealthSummit2026

Why do we ask volunteers to complete our questionnaire, even if they can’t attend a clinic appointment? Our Chief Science Officer explains how #OurFutureHealth questionnaire data alone gives researchers essential information to help them study diseases:

“Before 1993, women were rarely included in clinical trials, so we’re still living with the impact of that on our health outcomes today.” Retired gynaecologist Ruth shares how taking part in #OurFutureHealth is her way of improving research into women’s health.

Vincent Straub is one of the first researchers to study our volunteers' data. They explain why #OurFutureHealth is useful for their research into risky health-related behaviours (like smoking) in young men.

"By taking part in #OurFutureHealth you could help researchers discover so much more about this terrible disease.” NHS GP Dr Anisha Patel shares her experience of bowel cancer and how it motivated her to take part in our programme. #BowelCancerAwarenessMonth

Signs up completed the online questionnaire and have attended my brief physical/donated blood sample this morning in Glasgow 😀

Our goal is to revolutionise the way we fight disease by collecting information from millions of volunteers across the UK. Medical student and #OurFutureHealth volunteer Sagar shares his ambitions for the UK’s largest health research programme.
