SHARE, the Scottish Health Research Register and Biobank, is a database of volunteers (over 11 years of age) who are interested in assisting research for improving healthcare. SHARE is an NHS Research Scotland initiative, supported by the Universities in Scotland and the Chief Scientist Office. Please sign up today to be contacted for future research. It will only take you a minute to sign up at www.registerforshare.org

Anyone who signs up to SHARE can help in 2 ways:

1. You register for SHARE and agree to be contacted for research projects which you may be suitable for. Coded data is used to interrogate health records to try and find the right participants. These studies can take different forms (e.g. completing surveys, helping to write guidelines or testing new medical devices).
   
   
2. You can agree for any leftover blood from routine clinical tests, to be stored and used in genetic research studies (this is known as the SHARE Biobank).

Sometimes, people who want to take part in medical research don’t know how to get involved. Researchers have a similar problem; they need people to take part in studies but sometimes find it difficult to find enough people to participate.

Participating in studies is incredibly useful when it comes to developing new treatments and cures for a wide variety of health conditions. An example of this is the SHARE study currently testing a new vaccine for Covid-19, called Ad26.COV2.S.  Find out more.

With your help, we can improve future healthcare in Scotland.
