The practice provides an enhanced service for the homeless and hostel dwelling population in Liverpool. This means that as well as most of the clinicians having experience in this area, we also have 2 dedicated homelessness nurses and an alcohol nurse, shared care drugs workers within the practice, and close links with other local homelessness organisations.
We also have a specific Homeless Access Clinic every Thursday at the Brownlow site (drop in, 12.30-2.30pm). The normal walk in service is therefore re-directed to the Student Health Centre on thursday afternoons.
