Acute GP service

Kernow Health CIC has set up an acute respiratory infection (ARI) hub to which general practice can now refer patients.  The service is not exclusively for Streptococcus A but was set up in response to the recurrent system waves of high respiratory demand of Strep A, RSV, Covid, etc. 

​

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: 

​

Inclusion criteria

• Aged 5 years or over 

• Has a cough  

• Reports a sore throat 

• Reports a fever 

 

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

• Patient’s name

• NHS number

• Contact details

• 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.
