Private Baby Scans for Whitley Bay and the Coast
A direct Metro run from the coast, or twenty minutes by car. Worth the trip for a scan room that seats the whole family rather than one visitor.
Numi Scan Gosforth serves Whitley Bay from Unit 13, The Stottie Shed, Bakers Yard on Christon Road, a CQC-regulated clinic rated 5.0 across 222 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 9 guests are welcome in the room, and there is £1 off-street parking at the door.
Getting here from Whitley Bay
Metro
Whitley Bay is on the coast loop, and Regent Centre is a straight run with no change on most services — around 30 minutes, then a short walk to Christon Road.
Car
Via the A191 and A189, or the Coast Road and Great North Road. Roughly twenty minutes outside peak. £1 off-street parking for up to three hours.
From Monkseaton and Cullercoats
Both are a stop or two along the same Metro line, so the journey is much the same.
The coast has its own rhythm and its own weather, and we do get a run of Whitley Bay bookings when the sea fret rolls in and a day at the Links is off. More seriously: coastal families are typically furthest from a private clinic, and the Metro line happens to run almost door to door from Whitley Bay to Regent Centre, which makes us more reachable than the map suggests.
Why Whitley Bay families choose us
There is no private baby scan clinic in Whitley Bay itself, so the realistic choice is travelling into Newcastle or up towards North Shields. If you are making the journey anyway, it is worth doing it for the appointment that suits you — ours run 30 to 45 minutes with Mum plus nine guests, and photos and digital images are in the price rather than an add-on at the desk.
Whitley Bay falls under Northumbria Healthcare, so your NHS scans will usually be at North Tyneside General rather than the RVI. That makes no difference to booking with us — we are self-referral and independent of whichever trust covers you.
