Private Baby Scans for Whickham Families
Fifteen minutes down from Front Street, with parking at the other end. Worth knowing if you have been quoted a wait somewhere closer.
Numi Scan Gateshead serves Whickham 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 Whickham
Car
Down through Swalwell and along the A184, or via the Team Valley — around fifteen minutes. Churchill Shopping Centre car park is a two-minute walk from the clinic.
Bus
Regular services from Whickham Front Street into Gateshead Interchange.
Metro
No Metro in Whickham; most families drive or take the bus to the Interchange.
Whickham sits up on the hill with a semi-rural feel that stops abruptly the moment you drop into the Team Valley. Housing runs to interwar semis and newer estates around Chase Park, and the village-y Front Street means people are used to things being a short hop rather than a trek — which is exactly how far we are.
Why Whickham families choose us
Whickham families are typically choosing between us and clinics further into Newcastle. The practical differences are parking you can actually find, a room that seats Mum plus seven guests, and appointments that run long enough to not feel processed. We are also CQC-regulated, which not every private scan provider is.
Whickham comes under Gateshead Health NHS Foundation Trust, with NHS scans at the Queen Elizabeth Hospital. Booking privately with us has no bearing on that pathway — we are self-referral and independent of any trust.
