About us The ACRC is a multi-disciplinary research programme combining research across fields including medicine and other care professions, engineering, informatics, data and social sciences.Our vision is to improve the quality and sustainability of care provision and to reduce inequalities in care provision in order to enhance the quality of life, dignity and the desired level of independence of people living with multiple conditions in later life. Future of the ACRC From 2026, the Advanced Care Research Centre will look different than it does today. The PhD Academy will keep training future leaders, and our ACRC Fellows will continue their interdisciplinary research until December 2029. The research element of the initial £20M funding grant from Legal and General will mostly conclude in December 2025 as originally planned. Our researchers and professional services staff will focus on finalising, publishing and disseminating current research, and will explore future possible funding opportunities; while our PhD students, ACRC Fellows, Senior Academic Fellows and affiliated programmes continue the ACRC mission to enhance the quality and sustainability of care for individuals with multiple conditions in later life.Meet our ACRC fellows here and find out more about the ACRC PhD Academy here.
