Contacted a retired friend in Fife. These people in Aberdeen will sort you out.

Thank you, yes I saw them but they are 2.5 hours away from me.... I can not see anyone closer that does this , Edinburgh clinics do not have the equipment ???

Friend just came back to me. A company called RefHelp also do them but again they are based in Edinburgh at SMART Centre, Astley Ainslie Hospital in Edinburgh.

Having worked on their telecommunications system in a past lfe (around the time of Piper Alpha) I would have thought they had the facilities for a treadmill test so either they do not do them for driving licences or rely on drug induced stress tests.

Maybe you need to kick off a petition on Change,org?

Thank you appreciate it

No don't do that 😭 how difficult is it to get a 9 minute test eh

I would contact Dundee hospital. Surely as a teaching hospital they will have one?

[December1960 in reply to greenba]

No joke.... Fife.... Edinburgh /Glasgow does this but 225 consultion and 400 test wow ridiculous really. hey thanks for reply though

I’ll ask my nephew if he knows of anywhere. He’s a doctor in Broughty.

[December1960 in reply to Scho1]

aw thank you so much

[Scho1 in reply to December1960]

look up Tayside Complete Health, they’re in Dundee. Their Cardiologist is called Dougie Elder, my nephew was at Uni with him.

[December1960 in reply to Scho1]

I have already rang them they do not do EET, no equipment ! told me Aberdeen but that is miles from me, but maybe have to go there , thank u

[DaphnesMum]

apologies if this has been considered but does DVLA not perhaps have details of the approved locations for this ? Or can’t your cardio team arrange?

[December1960 in reply to DaphnesMum]

thanks for your input. its is for DVLA for driving with my job my cardio was 2016!!! but laws have all changed seemingly so need the test regardless of past time
