Account Buddies

A Control Group study buddy is someone you nominate for us to contact, should you not update your record for more than three months, and fail to respond to an initial contact email from us.

We will ask your nominated buddy to reach out to you to check you are ok and remind you to update your record. If they cannot reach you, or find that you have died, they can let us know so that we can mark your account accordingly.

This helps us to ensure health records are kept up-to-date and will help us to capture severe illness and death.
