Study summary

Heartburn Health is a research programme funded by the NHS and Cancer Research UK that brings together volunteers with heartburn, indigestion and acid reflux. The programme aims to speed up research into better ways to prevent, diagnose and treat these symptoms, ultimately improving the health and wellbeing of people affected.

Research through Heartburn Health will help improve NHS care and the guidance provided to people with these symptoms. By collecting health data from participants, the programme enables researchers to invite volunteers to relevant studies that could lead to significant advances in this field.

To achieve this, we are inviting millions of people across the UK to join Heartburn Health.
