Should I see the Doctor or Nurse Practitioner?  Nurse Practitioners are highly trained specialist nurses who have completed further education and training so that they can provide advanced nursing care and prescribe medication.  They can provide treatment and advice for many of the problems that traditionally you saw your Dr about in the past.  If you are unsure if they can deal with your problem please ask at Reception.

  Welcome to Hillbank Health Centre


                                           HH

We hope you will explore our website and the services we currently provide.

On behalf of all the team at Hillbank Health Centre, we would like to thank all our patients for their understanding and patience during the pandemic. We are all working hard to ensure all your health needs are met and we hope everyone is staying safe and well. 

Hillbank Health Centre as you know it was opened in 1991 by the Lord Provost of Dundee but the original Hillbank Health Centre originated many years previously when Dr Gibson, Dr Troup, Dr Summers and Dr Yeaman formed a partnership and opened Skailbrae Surgery at 4 Dudhope Street, Dundee.

Since then Hillbank Health Centre has grown in size and the Howie Wing extension was opened in October 1995 to allow us more room to provide healthcare services. 

The Doctors, Nurses and Staff are committed to providing our patients with the most comprehensive and appropriate healthcare of the highest quality through our continued commitment to excellence in the delivery of our services. We are an approved GP Training Practice.

We hope that the information contained in this website will enable you to get the most out of the services we provide. This site contains details of the surgery times & services we offer, plus suggestions on how to deal with various minor medical conditions. 

Patient Notice:

We have mixed feelings at Hillbank to pass on the news that our long serving GP, Dr Hannah, will be retiring. His last shift at the surgery will be on Friday 2nd July 2021. Dr Hannah has worked at Hillbank Health Centre for 25 years and has dedicated his working life to looking after our wonderful patients. Dr Hannah has been a loyal and dedicated partner at the surgery who has shared his vast knowledge with colleagues, staff and patients alike. I'm sure that you will all join us in wishing 'Stan' all the best for his well deserved retirement.
