RAE2008 Results

Professor Ron Akehurst

ScHARR has had an excellent outcome in RAE2008

The School returned by far the largest number of researchers in the Health Services Research unit of assessment and 55% of their activities were assessed as either world leading or internationally excellent. This excellent rating of such a large number of researchers suggests that ScHARR houses the largest concentration of world leading and internationally excellent health services researchers in the UK, as is confirmed in the RAE tables produced by researchresearch.com.

Professor Ron Akehurst, Dean of the School, said:

"This is an excellent result for ScHARR and a tribute to the efforts so many staff have made to create a world class capability in Sheffield. Future staff and students should benefit significantly from this endorsement from the RAE."
