From checking your vitamin levels to screening for cancer, self-test diagnostic kits are now sold in supermarkets and pharmacies across the UK. But are they reliable? Can they help you make better, more informed decisions about your health - or could they do more harm than good?
Join researchers from the NIHR Birmingham Biomedical Research Centre as they share findings from their latest study on direct-to-consumer diagnostic kits and discuss the potential opportunities tests present. This free public webinar will explore:
- Which self-tests may offer real value
- Which ones could lead to false reassurance, unnecessary anxiety, or added pressure on the healthcare system
- How to use self-tests to make informed choices about your health
Whether you're curious about trying an at-home test or have already used one, this session will help you separate science from marketing.
Our researchers will break facts down in a way that's easy to understand – no science background needed.
