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.

We aim to keep access open as long as possible throughout the day in order to enable patients to contact us with their queries. However, due to high demand at present it is often not possible to keep access via telephone and eConsult open throughout the day. You may therefore be advised that our telephone calls are accepting urgent calls only and our eConsult access is closed early. We apologise for any frustration this may cause, but please be assured we are continuing to ensure we are providing as many appointments as possible for our patients.
