friend of mine is recovering from colon cancer. Along the way I have come across Bio banks and their partnership with the NHS. I am just curious if anyone has had experience or has knowledge about this area on a personal level.
Thank you!
Hi LauPal
I don’t have experience of the UK biobank personally as it’s not something that patients can access. It’s for researchers-they can request to access data.
I‘m not sure from your question if you were hoping to gain information or something else from it?

Hi LauPal
I hope someone else with experience of how it all works will come along and post-it’s an interesting topic.
