How our practices work

Dr Jude's Practice Riverside & Picton is part of Dr Jude's Group Practice.  We are a GP practice offering our patients high quality, safe and effective care from an appropriately resourced and skilled multi-disciplinary team. 

Our practices operate using a triage system which means our patients are seen by the most appropriate clinician as soon as possible.  The historical first-come-first-served system of phoning at 8am every morning for an appointment no longer suits the needs of the patients and the community, and causes frustration.

Seeing a GP is not always the first port of call.  Some of our clinicians (such as our Advanced Nurse Practitioners, Mental Health Specialists, Children's Specialists and Pharmacists) may specialise in specific areas of medicine which may mean that their knowledge on a certain topic (e.g. diabetes, cancer, mental health) may be more in-depth than the GPs.  The aim of the model is to get you to the most appropriate clinician who can help you manage your condition, quickly.  If your condition requires a GP appointment, we have a strong team of GPs who are also on-hand to help.

New patient registrations

We endeavour to treat our patients in a responsive, supportive and courteous manner and we extend this to new patients who we are always happy to welcome to our practice.  For more information on how to register visit our 'how to register' section of the website.

The practice area stretches from post code districts Liverpool 3 to Liverpool 15.
