Dispensing (Methven only)
Patients who live outside Perth City may obtain their medication at the dispensary in the Methven Surgery. The dispensary is open during normal surgery opening hours. Please avoid coming to collect prescriptions before 11 a.m. if possible.
We can only carry a limited stock so it is important to order your medication in good time to ensure that we have time to order it if necessary. Please give us at least 3 working days notice.

Cardiac clinic
COPD clinic

Contraceptive clinic
Pill, Coil, other barrier methods and advice on sterilisation. You may consult any of the doctors for advice and for your regular check-up.
Cervical smear tests
These can be carried out within the normal surgery by the doctor or nurse of your choice and are also available as part of a Well-Woman check-up. There is a standard three-yearly recall.
Blood pressure tests
Holiday immunisations
Patients travelling abroad can see one of our nurses to arrange necessary immunisations and for general health care advice. There is a charge for this. Yellow Fever immunisation is not available from us, and some other unusual immunisations may attract a separate charge.
Health promotion
Health promotion advice is available on a variety of matters including Well-Man, Well-Woman, Weight Control, Asthma and Smoking Cessation.
Further details can be obtained from reception staff.
Smoking cessation
Would you like some help in giving up smoking?
We have a new group running on Thursdays at Glover Street between 5pm and 6pm.
There is strong evidence to suggest that 'group' therapy can have a greater success rate with smoking cessation than individual treatment.
If you are interested in coming along, please speak to a member of the reception staff who will be able to enrol you on to the programme and give you details of the session dates.
New patient medicals
Any patient over 16 years old who joins the practice will be offered an appointment with one of our nurses for a new patient examination. This is a condition of registration with the practice.
If the patient is on several repeat medications or has a medical condition, they are requested to make an appointment with the doctor for registration.
