Find out how UK Biobank is being used to improve health
We will be holding a series of events across the UK to thank you for participating, and to tell you more about how the resource is being used. At these events, you will hear from scientists undertaking research using UK Biobank data, and you will find out how the resource is being strengthened. There will be opportunities to ask questions and to speak directly with scientists undertaking research.
In each location we visit, invitations will be sent out by email to a selection of participants in the area. Unfortunately we cannot invite everyone along each time we hold an event, due to venue sizes and in order to allow people to ask questions with ease. But don’t worry if you do not receive an invite when we visit your area, we will be visiting locations more than once. We will also make videos of the presentations available on this page.
We have held a number of these events already over the last year and the videos and presentations are available below, for you to view and download.
