Request to join Scottish Health Research Register and Biobank

New Town & Broughton CC has received the following from an arm of the Scottish NHS. Although it is not specific to the NTBCC area, it may be of interest to NTBCC residents, so NTBCC is forwarding it for your information.

Health research is important so that we can prevent people from getting unwell and try to improve treatments if they do become ill. We need to involve more people in research, and we can do this with your support! We need you, your families, your colleagues and your visitors to sign up the SHARE Register.
SHARE – The Scottish Health Research Register and Biobank – is a Register of people who are happy to be sent information about health projects.
We need healthy people and people with health conditions to join SHARE. Health research is necessary so new treatments can be discovered for conditions and disease such as cancer, diabetes, dementia, stroke and asthma.
When you join, we may occasionally send you information about research projects that might be of interest to you. This might involve taking part in online surveys, sharing your views on your healthcare or taking part in a study researching a new medication for an illness you may have. You can decide if you would like to take part when you find out more about the study.
Would you be willing to display posters in your buildings and offices, to help promote SHARE to your staff and members of the public? If you can help, please get in touch at enquiries@registerforshare.org.
People can register in a number of ways:
    • Phone: 01382 383 471
Thank you very much for considering this request. With thanks and kind regards, Sarah Ritchie SHARE Deputy Program Manager The Scottish Health Research Register & Biobank Level 6-242, Corridor R Ninewells Hospital & University of Dundee Medical School DD1 9SY enquiries@registerforshare.org The University of Dundee is a registered Scottish Charity, No: SC015096

When will the events take place?

The two inaugural events in November will be hosted. We’re hosting two identical events, on different days and at different times, to help make it as easy as possible to join our conversation on the future of health and social care in Edinburgh.

  • Tuesday 17 November 10:00 – 12:00
  • Thursday 19 November 19:00 – 21:00

What to expect from the events?

At our inaugural Your health. Your care. Your future. events in November, you’ll hear from a range of Edinburgh citizens and colleagues on what health and social care means to them. The Edinburgh Integrated Joint Board – responsible for the strategic planning of Edinburgh’s health and social care – will host a panel discussion, giving you the chance to share what’s front of mind. And we’ll share more about the ongoing work we’re doing to co-create a health and social care service that’s right for the people of Edinburgh.

The events are the first in a series of Your health. Your care. Your future. events to connect the people of Edinburgh with the Edinburgh Health and Social Care Partnership and the Edinburgh Integrated Joint Board.

How do I attend the events?
