Has anyone signed up for this? We've had a letter from this organisation, sent, it says, to us not by name but as a random address. I think it sounds interesting but wanted to find out a bit more. Any comments would be welcome. Thank you in advance. smile

I have signed up. I saw it advertised on Social Media and then went looking for their website. Both my husband and I went to Boots where they took blood, gave us cholesterol, blood sugars and various other results. They said they would test it for other things but we wouldn't be notified. If there was a serious problem, they would contact our GP who could do a Well Person review and check for whatever they found. The whole thing took less than an hour with the young lady being very pleasant.

I did but was bombarded with communications, so ducked out.

Me too - lots of adverts, they passed on my info.

I signed up a couple of years ago, attended a simple assessment at Boots and was told I wouldn’t hear anything unless there was something amiss.

I've done it. Haven't been bombarded with contact

We both received letters, addressed to us by name too. We’ve both registered to take part and arranged times for the necessary blood tests. What’s not to lose and if it helps future generations that’s even better.
