Private Baby Scans for Durham Families
Twenty minutes straight up the A1(M), no city centre to negotiate. For a lot of Durham families we are an easier trip than anything in Newcastle.
Numi Scan Gateshead serves Durham from Ground Floor, 203 High Street, a CQC-regulated clinic rated 5.0 from nearly 400 Google reviews. Scans run from £65, every one is self-referral so no GP letter is needed, and most appointments are available within 24 to 48 hours. Mum plus up to 7 guests are welcome in the room.
Getting here from Durham
Car
North on the A1(M) and off at Gateshead — usually around twenty minutes. Car parking within a two-minute walk, so no hunting once you arrive.
Train
Durham to Newcastle Central is around twelve minutes, then a short Metro hop or walk across the Tyne to Gateshead Interchange.
From Chester-le-Street
Roughly ten minutes up the A167 or A1(M) — the shortest run of any of our southern catchment.
Durham families are used to travelling for specialist appointments, so twenty minutes registers as normal rather than a trek. The practical advantage over heading into Newcastle is that you come off the A1 and you are essentially there — no city centre, no cross-river traffic, and parking you can rely on.
Why Durham families choose us
There is a Window to the Womb at Chester-le-Street on the way, so we are not the only option and we would not pretend otherwise. What we offer is a room seating Mum plus seven guests, CQC regulation, and a 5.0 rating from nearly 400 reviews. If you are comparing, compare on guest numbers and what is included in the price.
Durham comes under County Durham and Darlington NHS Foundation Trust, so your NHS scans will be at the University Hospital of North Durham. We are self-referral and independent of any trust, so booking here changes nothing about your NHS care.
