In March 2018 the Aberdeen Centre for Women's Health Research was opened by Her Excellency Dr Sheikha Aisha Bint Faleh Al Thani. A year on and members of the women's health research team are taking part in Run Balmoral to raise much needed funds to help the centre achieve its mission of excellence in research across the spectrum of women's health, including fertility, pregnancy, pelvic issues, menstrual disorders and pre-cancerous conditions.

The Centre for Women's Health Research Centre will be based in the forthcoming £167 million Baird Family Hospital and Anchor Centre within the Foresterhill health campus. With dedicated facilities within the new Baird Family Hospital, the Aberdeens Women Health Research Centre will bring together clinical and non-clinical researchers alongside the clinical team to generate the answers to important questions in women's health.
