00:00 As the NHS ramps up the fight against dementia, cancer, diabetes and other long-term health
00:05 issues, health researchers will be opening 25 new clinics across the UK.
00:10 Our Future Health, a UK health research programme, will be unveiling a mix of mobile clinics,
00:14 pharmacies and blood donation centres up and down the country, with the organisation aiming
00:19 to develop new ways to prevent, detect and treat the disease.
00:23 The organisation, which works alongside the NHS, charities and the private healthcare
00:27 sector will have a total of 122 UK locations once the new clinics open.
00:32 Dr Raghav Ali, Chief Medical Officer at Our Future Health, said with well over 100 clinics
00:38 and more opening each month, we're expanding so that everyone across the UK will have a
00:42 chance to take part in Our Future Health.
00:45 At their clinic appointments, as well as having a blood sample and some physical measurements
00:49 taken, volunteers will be offered information about their own health, including their blood
00:54 pressure and cholesterol levels.
