How our practices work

Stanley Medical Centre forms 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, 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.
