Many thanks to the Oxford Biobank team for a very relaxing, friendly and enjoyable experience and I would be very happy to come back in the future for any studies I may be eligible for.
Hi, I participated in the Oxford Biobank study in 2011, just after turning 30. I really enjoyed the experience, particularly the body imaging scan and finding out that my current shape was pretty normal. As I'm trying to find ways to improve my health and well-being, this type of information is a great resource. The staff were very welcoming. I look forward to hopefully taking part in future studies.
I participated in August 2011, and I am pleased to say that I have since lost 2 stone, as i was a bit overweight and the body scan inspired me to do so! I hope that the research has helped medical knowledge for the future.
