There’s something about this I don’t trust. Pfizer is involved plus men who assisted Boris Johnson when he was (unfortunately) the PM. I’ve almost signed up a few times but I don’t want to be part of this. I’m going with my gut instinct as I have done with previous initiatives which have expected people to act like sheep.

After reading all the negative reviews I was a bit worried. But went anyway to Boots in Braintree. The lady knew exactly what she was doing and was very professional. I also found some BBC reports, as some people on here saying it’s a scam or harvesting data for Pfizer etc. But it’s just research to help our future generations at the end of the day. And I got my gift voucher as soon as I finished the questionnaire.

Apart from the blood pressure check, nothing else was correct. I was told I had lost two inches in height. I haven't. Weight was a bit over, but not worth quibbling about. The main stumbling block was the cholesterol check. The finger prick test showed my LDL cholesterol to be 6.0. I'd been tested at my GP the previous month and was told it measured 3.2. Can't believe it had doubled in just over four weeks

I attended my check in Boots recently. The lady was very friendly and helpful. We discovered my blood pressure readings were very high, so she suggested I ask the Boots pharmacist to also check my readings. He was very thorough, three times in both arms and confirmed my bp was indeed very high. My cholesterol levels were also slightly raised. I made an appointment with my GP, who has since prescribed tablets for both my conditions, although I must admit I’m not too happy about taking statins as I have Glaucoma and therefore need to research any possible side effects or reactions with my eye medication. I’m glad I went for this check, as I was unaware of my very high blood pressure!

Something about all this doesn't sit right with me, so I promptly declined to go any further with giving my bloods and information and left. Also, the £10 voucher they offer i feel is a bit of an insult for giving them all that information and your DNA.
Also found this online, and you will notice there is one company that stands out head and shoulders above the rest..Pfizer, anything they are involved in i wouldn't trust with a barge pole.

OFH is funded by a variety of organizations, including:

UK Research and Innovation: The government-funded body that provided the program with an initial £79 million in funding. The 2023 Autumn Statement announced an additional £51 million in funding. Life sciences companies: Founding industry partners include Pfizer, Novartis, and others.

Disease-related charities: Partners include Asthma + Lung UK, Cancer Research UK, and LifeArc.

Whole process was straight forward. Very friendly and professional nurse at Boots took my blood samples etc. Happy to help any research that might help people in the future.

Very efficient and knowledgeable explaining each test.

No privacy. Just dividing boards. You could hear everything being discussed from outside the consultation area. Neglectful by Boots of Longbridge Town Birmingham UK and OFH. I will not shop their again. I will not do a survey for the NHS again. The nurse did not have the skill to take my blood. Therefore, the whole experience was a total waste of time. My veins protrude to such an extent that you could easliy hit them blindfolded with a blunt dart. Incompetent and neglectful. Ring any bells?

I enjoyed an excellent service when I joined this study this year. Everything that was explained would happen did happen. The lady who took measurements and blood samples etc at Boots was friendly and efficient. I was there no more than 10 minutes, if that. The voucher arrived and I was able to download it with ease and Aldi accepted it. it seems like an excellent initiative and I am happy to be taking part and would recommend it to others.

Very professional staff. My appointment was timely and informative. Results explained as was the reasons behind the research. Received a thankyou & my voucher before l arrived home with the voucher immediately claimed successfully. A very positive experience

Signed up, completed the health and lifestyle questionnaire, attended appointment, but no £10 voucher as promised was sent. Emailed to query/complain and no reply as of 8 days later

Terrible pain in my arm after blood was taken. Then passed out in the coffee shop about 20 minutes later.
Arm so painful I haven’t slept and have not been able to work since having it done last Friday and it has come up in a terrible bruise.
I’m not sure the staff have had sufficient training to do the blood tests.
Horrible experience.

This Companies leading directors and advisers were both key share holders in Roche and the covid vaccine advice purchasing . John Bell had nearly a million in shares . Having been severely criticised for his underhand profiteering he has now moved to OUR FUTURE HEALTH . Trustworthy ? Not at All.

Nurse was friendly, welcoming and competent.She explained everythng she did and there were no surprises as I had read the accompanying notes before I attended.I have worked in the NHS for 40 years and myself and my parents have all needed emergency surgery on the NHS, this was a small way of giving back.Not sure what all the suspicion is about!

Waste of time. I visited the Boots store in Bristol to have my blood taken, arrived late for my appointment but instead of being turned away, I waited nearly an hour before being told they couldn't take the appointment. Even though they had no shows in the time. Zero communication.

My waist was measured over my clothes, blood pressure wasnt taken correctly. I suspect my height was wrong too. Nice health worker though.

web site takes you to a general survey and not one about my own health. asks which surevey you wish to complete IE dental, GP, Hospital etc. seems a bit of a scam...avoid

Curious.
The invite to submit personal details, to be followed by an appointment to assess ones condition.
Only to discover appointments, only available miles away from ones location.
It appears to be in consort with NHS.
Yet 3 large NHS facilities within 3 mls. Have no awareness of this program.
Some suspicion of its intention occurring.
Since the NHS Online site, has all this information against ones NHS Ref/Registration #. Anyway.

Had my appointment in a boots and explained I'm hit and miss with blood tests. I have been told my veins are deep and thin and thos had resulted in many failed attempts and bad experiences. No idea of the credentials of the "nurse"? who ran my appointment. There was no tourniquet for my arm, just tape pulled around my bicep. Despite my explanations she seemed incredibly optimistic only to immediately say aloud "oh dear" after failing to draw blood and I fainted. There was no bed in the cubicle. I came to and felt as if my temples were being crushed. When I regained consciousness I learned I'd been unconcious for nearly a minute and stopped breathing, a member of the public was holding me up and the panic button had been pressed twice yet no one had come. I also heard that this had happened at least 2 times prior and no one had come. I was never laid down, just kept sat up in my chair. It is common knowledge that legs should be raised above the head to get blood flowing back to the head when someone faints. I should never have been left dat up. This could have caused me serious damage over a stupid test.
I was put on a bed in the back of house. The shop is so ridiculously hot I can't even shop in there. It's not fit to be a clinic. A member of the pharmacy was told to stay with me until my friend arrived to which he replied "but what if there's a queue at the tills?". He was utterly useless. Once my friend did arrive I was violently sick. The staff member couldn't have run quicker if he tried and the manager seemed more focused on cleaning the floor than ensuring I was OK. I didn't care how I felt at this point I didn't want to be in this building anymore with these incompetent people.
I contacted Our Future Health after this experience and was informed I'd recieve a response within 45 days. Of course, no response. I have chased them on this and only recieved a pathetic apology and that they're working on it.
Honestly one of the most upsetting experiences I've had and the pure negligence of Our Future Health is astounding. I feel at a complete loss as to what to do but I do not feel this Boots clinic is safe.

Testing 24th July. Lady doing Tests was NOT a Nurse! Blood could not be taken -I had a Canula a few days prior. I was told I WOULD still receive the incentive. I completed the Survey after Attending - lengthy process! Still NOT received my Voucher. Emailed and telephoned Future Health several times. To be told there is a Back Log and they will get in touch with me! They never have? Very unprofessional Company. Called into Boots to confirm - re the blood test- not being able to be taken. Confirmed I still should receive the Voucher. Boots telephoned company,- to no avail. They very busy and opening up more Centres! Boots have no control over these units? I would not return. I would not suggest you get tested either. My honest opinion. Thank you
