UK Biobank is a resource for research into health. It cannot provide advice or information about specific health conditions. However, researchers supported by a wide range of health charities (and other funding organisations) have already helped to build UK Biobank and we expect many more to use the resource. The following organisations may be able to provide help about specific illnesses:
- Alzheimer’s Society
- Arthritis Research Campaign
- Association for International Cancer Research
- British Heart Foundation
- British Lung Foundation
- Cancer Research UK
- Diabetes UK
- The Haemochromatosis Society
- Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation
- Kidney Research UK
- Moorfields Eye Hopsital
- National Osteoporosis Society
- Parkinson’s Disease Society
- Royal College of General Practitioners
- Skin Care Campaign
- Thyroid-disease.org.uk
