The NIHR Newcastle BRC’s core team is located on the Campus for Ageing and Vitality (CAV). This campus also supports a range of facilities across the partnership, providing capacity and continuity of funding to allow researchers to access cutting edge techniques and expertise including:

• Magnetic Resonance Centre
• Clinics for Research and Service in Themed Assessments (CRESTA), created to improve the healthcare provision of older people with a range of complex disorders, in one visit
• Clinical Ageing Research Unit (CARU) – designed to accommodate research in conditions associated with ageing, and to facilitate the development of early assessment and interventional strategies
• Newcastle Brain Tissue Resource
• Positron Emission Tomography (PET) Imaging Centre
• Human Movement Laboratory
• Visual Perception Laboratory

Facilities supported by the NIHR Newcastle BRC are also located on both partnership sites for Newcastle Hospitals and Newcastle University, allowing translational research to be carried out in both clinical and academic environments.
