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 aims of the programme

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

  • request access to our baseline health questionnaire, our genotype array data and NHS England linked health records data. In the future, we will make more data types available. Learn more about our data types.
