Perth and Kinross

Twenty-two miles down the A90, about half an hour to our door at 14 Dudhope Street in Dundee. That is a real journey — so we would rather you knew whether you needed to make it. Start with a free ten-minute call with a GP. If you do need to be seen, we will get everything done in one visit.

Find out before you drive

Perth is not around the corner. Before you spend an hour of your day on the A90 and back, spend ten minutes on the phone with a GP finding out whether the journey is needed at all — and if it is, what to book.

1

Pick a slot

Choose a time on the booking calendar. It is free, with no card details and no obligation.

2

A GP calls you

Ten minutes with a GMC-registered doctor, wherever you are in Perth and Kinross.

3

Decide together

Come to Dundee, book a full phone or video appointment instead, or go to your own practice — whichever is genuinely right.

Ten slots are released each week, first come, first served. The call cannot issue prescriptions, sick notes or referrals — those need a full consultation — but it will tell you, honestly, whether the drive is worth making.

Making it count

One trip, not three

The NHS pattern is appointment, then bloods another day, then results another day again. From Perth that is three round trips. We work the other way round.

Before you set off

Tell us you are coming from Perth

Say so when you book, on the phone or on WhatsApp. We will hold enough time to examine you and do the bloods in the same appointment, rather than sending you home and back.

On the day

Everything in one visit

Consultation, examination, blood tests, a joint injection or a DVLA D4 medical — done in a single appointment where it is clinically sensible. Bloods go to the laboratory the same day.

Afterwards

No second drive

Results are explained by phone. Prescriptions and letters are emailed to you and dispensed at any pharmacy in Perth. You only come back if something genuinely needs seeing again.

Some things simply do not need the drive at all. A telephone or video consultation covers anything that does not need examining, and the free review call will tell you which category you are in. What does need you here: blood tests and phlebotomy, joint and soft-tissue injections, DVLA D4 medicals, health screening, and anything a doctor has to look at or feel.

Patients do travel to us from Perth and Kinross — usually for exactly those things.

The drive

Half an hour down the A90

Perth to Dundee is dual carriageway nearly the whole way. No bridge, no toll, and free parking when you get here.

Typical driving times to 14 Dudhope Street, in normal traffic:

Perth
29 min
21.7 miles via the A90
Scone
33 min
19.0 miles via the A90
Blairgowrie
34 min
18.5 miles via the A923
Kinross
42 min
36.0 miles via the M90 and A90

Errol, Inchture, Longforgan, Bridge of Earn and Abernethy all sit inside those times. Crieff is further out — about 41 miles and just under an hour — so from there we would especially suggest starting with the review call. Allow extra at the Kingsway and Riverside at rush hour.

Four ways in

The train is quicker than you think

Perth to Dundee is one of the better rail links in Scotland — often faster than driving, and it drops you a short taxi ride from the door.

HowJourneyWorth knowing
Train20–25 minAround 42 trains a day between Perth and Dundee. From Dundee station it is roughly a 20-minute walk to us, or five minutes in a taxi from the rank outside.
Car29 min21.7 miles of mostly dual carriageway, and free parking on site when you arrive.
Coachabout 40 minScottish Citylink services run the Perth–Dundee corridor and stop in the city centre.
Busabout 1 hrStagecoach 16 and X16, roughly hourly, through Errol, Inchture and Longforgan. Dundee bus station on Seagate is a 12-minute walk.

Timetables change — check ScotRail, Stagecoach East Scotland or Scottish Citylink before you set off. If you are coming by train or bus, tell us when you book and we will try to fit your appointment to the timetable.

When you arrive

Parking, and finding the door

14 Dudhope Street sits just off the Marketgait, beside Dudhope Park and a few minutes' walk from the Wellgate.

Free parking on site

There is free parking at the clinic itself — no meter, no ticket, and nothing to top up if your appointment runs long.

If you would rather use a car park

Bell Street multi-storey is the nearest, about a 0.3-mile walk — roughly eight minutes. Dundee City Council charges from £4.20 for up to three hours on weekdays, with a flat weekend rate.

The route in

Come off the A90 at the Kingsway, follow signs for the city centre, then the Marketgait ring road. Dudhope Street runs off it, opposite Dudhope Park.

Perth questions

What Perth patients ask before booking

Mostly a version of the same question: is it worth the drive?

Do you have a clinic in Perth?

No. We have one premises, at 14 Dudhope Street in Dundee, and every in-person appointment happens there. We would rather say that plainly than imply a Perth clinic that does not exist. Telephone and video appointments, of course, reach you wherever you are in Perth and Kinross.

Can I get everything done in one visit?

Usually, yes — that is the point of telling us you are travelling. Consultation, examination, blood tests and, where appropriate, a joint injection or a D4 medical can be done in a single appointment. Results come back to you by phone, so a normal blood test never costs you a second drive.

Is the drive from Perth actually worth it?

Sometimes not, and we will say so. If your problem can be handled on the phone or by video, book that instead and stay at home. The drive earns its place when something needs examining, when you need bloods taken, or when you need a D4 medical or an injection done properly and quickly. The free ten-minute call exists precisely so you can find that out before setting off.

Can I come by train instead?

Easily. Perth to Dundee takes around 20 to 25 minutes, with roughly 42 trains a day. From Dundee station it is about a 20-minute walk to us, or five minutes in a taxi. Tell us you are travelling by train and we will try to give you an appointment that fits the timetable.

Do I need a referral from my NHS GP for blood tests?

No. You do not need a referral and you do not need to be registered with us. Bloods are taken at the clinic and sent to the laboratory the same day, and a GP explains the results to you by phone.

I need a DVLA D4 medical. Is it one appointment?

Yes — examination and the signed form completed before you leave, so it is one trip from Perth. Bring your glasses or contact lenses if you wear them, a list of your medication, and your DVLA paperwork. More about D4 medicals.

Where do I park?

There is free parking on site at 14 Dudhope Street. If it is busy, Bell Street multi-storey is a 0.3-mile walk — around eight minutes — and charges from £4.20 for up to three hours on weekdays.

Will you write to my NHS practice in Perth?

Only with your consent. We are a private service and we do not access your NHS record unless you share it. If you would like your own GP kept in the loop — usually a good idea — we will write to them.

What if it is urgent?

We are not an emergency service, and neither is the review call. If you are unwell now, contact NHS 24 on 111, or 999 in an emergency. For anything that can wait a day, call or message us and we will tell you honestly whether we can help sooner.

Not sure the drive is worth it?

Ask a GP for ten minutes, free, before you decide. That is exactly what the review call is for.
