It is so frustrating. As patients, my husband and I signed up to UK Biobank at its outset, recognising its research potential. I hope that the college can find ways to encourage GPs to, in their turn, encourage patients to participate, or at least to flag up the existence of UK Biobank.

Linking with Gp’s imho essential for research , BUT biobank is missing/ believe not allowing /does not have a facility to include another area of information which can be extremely beneficial as to medical history of a person.

eg to be able to upload/ include information for a participant from private medicine and overseas examinations of a patient.

I , like very many others have medical history going back in my case 50 years from employer

funded and personal annual check ups and because of international expat travel extensive- particularly US.. thorough medical analysis. (Also brain scans)

Such longer term/and therefore younger patient information could be invaluable in tracking the path /development of things

Sincerely,

A response would be most useful to confirm the post has been seen/read

Thankyou
