Opt out of invites for the Our Future Health research programme

Use this form if you do not want to be invited to take part in the Our Future Health research programme.

Summary of the research programme

Our Future Health will be the UK’s largest ever health research programme. It is designed to help people live healthier lives for longer through the discovery and testing of more effective approaches to prevention, earlier detection and treatment of diseases.

Our Future Health will invite millions of people, from all backgrounds and from right across the UK to take part. They will provide information about their health and lifestyles to create an incredibly detailed picture that represents the whole of the UK.

By developing a more detailed understanding of what makes certain people more likely to develop a disease - plus what to look out for before any symptoms appear - Our Future Health has the potential to help to develop far more effective approaches to both prevention and treatment.
