The Aberdeen Centre for Evaluation (ACE)’ specific aims are to work for the implementation of better health and social care, identify developments within health and social care that are effective, efficient and high quality, and explore and understand experiences of health and social care.
This work is underpinned by the Centre undertaking work with patient and public partners, undertaking capacity building, education and training, using and developing interdisciplinary approaches and leading the way with the development and implementation of new and innovative methodological approaches.
There are approximately 80 members of staff, working together cohesively, with everyone’s contribution valued. The atmosphere is friendly, informal and efficient.
The Centre has established an internationally recognised portfolio of research marked by being multidisciplinary and collaborative, involving a range of national and international partners. In 2017 the Centre (jointly with the University’s Health Economics Research Unit) won the Queen’s Anniversary Prize for Further and Higher Education, the highest national honour available for a UK university in recognition of our world-leading research into health services.
Staff from the Centre made a major contribution to the University’s submission to the Unit of Assessment 2 (Public Health, Health Services and Primary Care) in the 2021 Research Excellence Framework. REF 2021 confirmed that we are top for Public Health, Health Services and Primary Care research in Scotland and over 92% of our submitted work was rated as “internationally excellent” or “world leading”.
