Myself and my wife have just received letters asking us to take part in this "Medical Research Project" . An appointment as already been arranged, and we are supposed to complete a form to notify them of our intention to attend or not.
The information provided, states that we would need to attend a 2hr interview and give Blood, saliva and urine samples. The samples been kept and used for many years. Also we will be asked to wear on our wrists a small monitor to record our physical activity for a week. Stored "samples will be analysed for approved health-related research" . Also stated in the information under the heading of Why Do You Need My Written Consent?. Your participation in UK Biobank is entirely voluntary. By signing the consent form, you would be agreeing to :

Answer some questions and have some measurements.

Give blood, saliva and urine for long-term storage and any testing
(including obtaining genetic information and storing white blood cells
so more DNA can be made)

Allow UK Biobank to have long-term access to your existing and future
medical and other health-related records.

Be contacted again in the future by UK Biobank.
