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.

We're at the Institute of Clinical Research Conference today, so visit our stand for a chat about #OurFutureHealth - and listen out for our Chief Product Officer Cosima Gretton speaking at 9:30am about our Clinical Research Recruitment Service. #ICRCONF2026

Collage of students holding colourful plus symbol cut-outs with text: "Our clinics at universities across the UK"

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: ourfuturehealth.org.uk/news/its-super-convenien...

Below, a quote reads: "When I heard about Our Future Health, I knew I had to sign up. I'm passionate about the importance of sharing health data for research. As someone with Parkinson's, I know that health data offers a route to better treatment and cures for diseases like mine."

Tomorrow is #WorldParkinsonsDay. Former BBC News correspondent Rory Cellan-Jones explains why he volunteered for #OurFutureHealth to improve research into the disease. @parkinsons.org.uk

New £1 million fund launched to help researchers analyse our data The Medical Research Council (MRC) is launching a pilot scheme to support researchers who wish to access Our Future Health’s data.

Thank you to the Medical Research Council for launching this new grant scheme, which funds researchers to study data from over 2 million #OurFutureHealth volunteers.ourfuturehealth.org.uk/news/new-1-million-fund-... 🧪

We’re going to the Institute of Clinical Research Conference, where our Chief Product Officer Cosima Gretton will speak about our Clinical Research Recruitment Service in a session with our partner Biogen. You can also visit our stand to chat to our colleagues about #OurFutureHealth.

Why your answers to our health and lifestyle questionnaire make a difference Our Chief Science Officer, Professor Michael Cook, explains the vital role our questionnaire plays in powering the healthcare of tomorrow

“We couldn’t have done our study, the first to use #OurFutureHealth data, without the valuable information from the questionnaire.” Professor Daniel Smith explains why our volunteers’ questionnaire data are vital for health researchers like him. 🧪

A woman with short dark hair and glasses smiles against a background of fields. Below, text reads: "The dataset is huge, which makes Our Future Health very powerful. There are so many exciting things to look at." Below, text identifies her as Dr Katie Marwick, Senior Clinical Research Fellow at the University of Edinburgh.

Dr Katie Marwick is one of the first researchers to study our volunteers’ data. She shares why #OurFutureHealth is so valuable for her research into women’s mental health and reproductive changes. Learn how to access our resource for your research: https://research.ourfuturehealth.org.uk/ 🧪

Thanks to the 2,407,580 amazing people who’ve stepped up to make health data more accessible to researchers —you’re helping shape better healthcare! @eastofenglandsde.bsky.social, we’re all about securely powering this effort, and we truly appreciate your dedication #OurFutureHealth lnkd.in/ewp535ZC

I’m interested in the results but this was always going to happen, so I’ve never used one of those services. It was hard enough choosing to join an NHS research programme - #ourfuturehealth - with all its safeguards.
