Newcastle Endoscopy Centre

Newcastle Endoscopy Centre has established a Direct Access service which enables General Practitioners to refer patients requiring urgent investigation of nominated screening tests DIRECT to Newcastle Endoscopy Centre. Newcastle Endoscopy Centre (NEC) in Charlestown is the Hunters only purpose-built, dedicated Endoscopy Facility. Since the introduction of the Direct Access Colonoscopy service in October 2013, demand for the service has grown strongly and the admission criteria has been widened as a result Referrals will now be accepted for privately insured (or self-funded) patients who: - Have had positive faecal occult test result OR - Have a family history of colorectal cancer (provided NH & MRC guidelines are met) AND - Are less than 74 years of age, in good general health and with no significant co-morbidities
