We’re delighted to share the news that uMed has partnered with The Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson's Research to run its smell test study in the UK, as part of a global programme to explore the link between smell loss and Parkinson’s disease.

The smell test study, which is part of MJFF’s landmark PPMI initiative, will utilise uMed’s network of more than 500 primary care provider groups in the UK to engage eligible participants. uMed will facilitate the distribution of 15,000 University of Pennsylvania Smell Identification Tests (UPSIT), to individuals aged 60 and older in the UK without Parkinson’s.

Through this partnership, The Michael J. Fox Foundation will have access to hundreds of primary care providers whose involvement in clinical studies is critical for the advancements in research. Without uMed, these non-traditional research sites often lack the financial and human capital or the technical tools required to regularly engage their patients while balancing care.

We'd like to say a massive well done to our Study Support Nurse Laura Newman for completing the Jurassic Coast Mighty Hike 2023 this weekend to raise money for Macmillan Cancer Support.

Laura braved 33 degrees and the very hilly landscape of the Jurassic coast to complete the 26.2 mile hike, so far raising £480 for people living with cancer. Well done Laura! 👏

We are delighted to announce that uMed are supporting the UK’s largest research programme, Our Future Health UK!

We are working with our vast network of GP partners in the South of the UK to engage volunteers via SMS, inviting them to take part in this revolutionary programme.

Our Future Health will collect and link multiple sources of health and health-relevant information, including genetic data, across a cohort of 5 million people that truly reflects the UK population. This will create a world-leading resource for academic and commercial researchers to undertake discovery research on early indicators of disease, plus the opportunity to re-contact participants on a risk-stratified basis for secondary studies.
