NHS SHARE

The need for health research is essential so new treatments can be developed for conditions such as asthma, cancer, dementia, heart failure and mental health issues. NHS Scotland would like to improve the prevention and treatment of disease, which is why it is asking for your help.

SHARE - The Scottish Health Research Register and Biobank, is a register of people aged 11 years and over, who are interested in helping health research and being contacted by SHARE if a health project relevant to you becomes available.

Health research can be anything from filling in a survey about your diet, to researching a new medication for an illness you may have. We need healthy people and those with medical conditions to join. SHARE also seeks your permission to keep any leftover blood following routine tests (e.g. if you have given a blood test at your GP). This leftover sample is anonymised and can be used to help genetic research.

There is no obligation for anyone who registers to take part in any projects. Signing up to SHARE allows us to keep you informed of what research is available in Scotland.

SHARE is a great way for people to make a contribution to health research - which can improve the health of everybody in Scotland. NHS Scotland thanks you very much for considering this request. Please pass this information on to friends and family (anyone over age 11 can join).
