Where should I go for help?

Search the knowledge base

Start by searching the Researcher Community. You may find an existing article that answers your question.

Ask the Forum

If you can't find an answer, you can post a question in the Forum to seek advice from other researchers and share experiences.

The Forum is intended for peer-to-peer discussion, so questions may not receive a response from UK Biobank staff.

Please read our Community guidelines before posting.

Request support

If you need assistance directly from UK Biobank, please submit a request to our team.
