Newcastle Clinical Research Facility

The National Institute for Health Research (NIHR) Newcastle Clinical Research Facility collaborates with:

• NIHR Newcastle Biomedical Research Centre and other NIHR-funded infrastructure
• Industry collaborators 
• Research Councils, health charities and other research funders 

The NIHR Newcastle Clinical Research Facility (CRF) is a partnership between Newcastle University and the Newcastle upon Tyne Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust.

We are located across three sites in close proximity:

• Newcastle CRF in the Leazes Wing of the Royal Victoria Infirmary
• Clinical Ageing Research Unit (CARU) on the Campus for Ageing and Vitality (CAV)
• Newcastle Dental CRF within the Newcastle Dental Hospital and School of Dental Sciences.

At the NIHR Newcastle CRF, we are committed to actively involving patients and members of the public in all stages of our research and are continuously developing ways to improve the partnership between patients, public and researchers and the organisations who work with them.

Our NIHR Newcastle CRF PPIE Strategy for 2017 to 2022  outlines how we plan to ensure that research at the NIHR Newcastle CRF continues to benefit from public and patient participation and engagement.
