HERU was established at the University of Aberdeen in 1977. The Unit is part of the Division of Applied Health Sciences within the College of Life Sciences and Medicine. Core funding for the Unit is received from the Chief Scientist Office (CSO) of the Scottish Government Health Directorates. Substantial additional funding also comes from competitive research grants, training activities, commissioned research, and the University of Aberdeen.
We undertake substantial programmes of joint research with the Health Services Research Unit (HSRU) and Department of Economics in the University of Aberdeen Business School.
HERU has a national remit within Scotland to "develop new methods within health economics and to encourage the use of health economics".
