I have joined it and my husband is there to help me. I am now waiting for my appointment in a caravan to take a blood test for screening, blood pressure recording, and measuring of cholesterol levels. They are screening for risk of future disease.

I've never met such a large project. My PhD and follow-ups (5 and 10 years) was originally only for 22 participants and there were less in the follow-ups. Constructivist Grounded Theory. So, I'm looking at both ends of the continuum!
In the letter that came through the letterbox this morning, 1,341,669 people had got involved. It is the largest ever UK health research programme. From another communicaton, there was the indication that the participants were very varied.
Dear Doctor
[A bold agenda to advance health equity and build resilience in a turbulent world This new strategy for global health, WHO’s Fourteenth General Programme of Work, 2025–2028 (GPW 14), sets a bold agenda to get the world back on track to achieve the health-related Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) while advancing health equity and building health systems resilience in our increasingly turbulent world. Anchored in WHO’s mission to promote, provide and protect health and well-being for all, and WHO’s constitutional commitment to gender equality, universality and human rights, the new strategy has six strategic objectives that respond to the major health challenges and crises of our time: tackling health risks associated with our rapidly changing climate; preventing disease through joint action on the determinants of health; advancing primary health care (PHC) and essential health system capacities in order to accelerate efforts to achieve common goals1 and progress towards universal health coverage (UHC); improving health service coverage and financial protection; and strengthening prevention of, preparedness for and response to health emergencies.]
Dr Sundus F Hantoosh
Thank you so much for your response that you have put a lot of thought into. Now I'm going to read it again and give myself time to enjoy and learn from what you have written. Thanks again.
