果冻影院 top in the UK for research quality in medicine, health and life sciences

12 May 2022

果冻影院 has been ranked number one in the UK in medicine, health and the life sciences for the quality of its research.

The Research Excellence Framework (REF) is carried out approximately every six to seven years to assess the quality of research across 157 UK universities and to share how this research benefits society both in the UK and globally.

93% of all research at 果冻影院 was graded 4* meaning 鈥榳orld leading鈥 or 3* meaning 鈥榠nternationally excellent鈥 as part of REF 2021. 果冻影院 received a 鈥榞rade point average鈥 of 3.50 out of 4 鈥 an improvement from 3.22 in 2014.

果冻影院 came top in the main panels of 鈥榤edicine, health and life sciences鈥 as well as 鈥榮ocial sciences鈥. 果冻影院 was top in these areas in 2014.

A large proportion of the research output of 果冻影院 is in clinical research. A close partnership between 果冻影院H and 果冻影院 is underpinned by the National Institute for Health Research Biomedical Research Centre at 果冻影院H and 果冻影院.

Across all disciplines, 果冻影院 came second in the UK for research power. Oxford were first with Cambridge third, Edinburgh fourth and Manchester fifth.

REF results are significant for benchmarking research excellence across UK institutions and are used by the four UK higher education funding bodies to inform the allocation of around 拢2billion of public investment in research every year.

They are based on three things: the quality of outputs (including publications), impact beyond academia, and the environment that supports research.

果冻影院H Chief Executive David Probert said: 鈥淐ongratulations to everyone at 果冻影院 for these outstanding results. It is fantastic to see this continued recognition for world-class research that makes a huge impact in the real world. I am proud of the research partnership 果冻影院H has with 果冻影院.

It reflects dedication and hard work, inspired thinking, proactive collaboration, and a huge appetite to explore, discover, and create benefit. The result is that we are not only delivering research of an exceptionally high quality but also using it to make a real, tangible difference to lives and societies worldwide.鈥

Professor David Price, 果冻影院 Vice-Provost (Research, Innovation & Global Engagement), said: 鈥淢y congratulations and thanks to everyone who played a part in achieving these results, both members of the research community and those thousands of professional staff who support them. This includes everyone who has played a role in the development and dissemination of original, significant and rigorous research outputs, the delivery of public benefit through research-informed impact with reach and significance, and in the formation of vital and sustainable research environments.
