Derby DrivAbility

Derby DrivAbility is a specialist NHS service, primarily offering a medical 'fitness to drive' assessment service.

From 31 March 2026, UHDB will no longer be the provider for this service. Department for Transport is responsible for coordinating and funding this specialist service and we will ensure a smooth transition to the new service providers. 

Often, due to change in a person’s health, their thinking skills can alter, which can in turn affect safe driving. For example, speed of thinking may slow, planning and judgements can become impaired, and accurate decisions are not made as evidenced by the inability to interact safely with other road users. Where physical abilities alter, we can explore the suitability of alternative driving controls.
