​
The hub service is based in Camborne-Redruth Community Hospital for patients requiring a face-to-face clinic appointment who meet all of the following:
​

GP practices can refer patients by emailing kernowhealthcic.strepareferral@nhs.net with the following:

Brief clinical details of presentation
The clinic is located in CRCH and therefore only those patients who are able to attend this location should receive this referral.
