This platform captures and documents technical information to support researchers to accelerate their analysis using the Our Future Health resource

About the Our Future Health research programme

We’re bringing together data from up to 5 million adults in the UK. Registered researchers can request access to this data and analyse it to discover new ways to prevent, detect and treat diseases.

The programme aims to provide two main resources for health research:

  • an observational dataset for basic science, epidemiological discovery and aetiological research

  • a cohort of participants who can be contacted for translational research
