Acute respiratory hubs

Acute respiratory infection hub

Helping to relieve pressures in primary and secondary care

With a wave of respiratory infections and capacity limits stretched within GP Practices, we worked with Procare to develop an innovative and flexible solution.

The mobile Acute Respiratory Infection Hub (ARI) supported GP practices across Guildford and Waverley, providing additional capacity and convenient access to care for patients, with additional appointment slots relieving pressures in both primary and secondary care.

The ARI aimed to reduce the risk of hospital admissions by ensuring patients were seen quicker for earlier diagnosis and treatment.

Using a mobile respiratory hub has enabled us to access the heart of communities and offer additional on-the-day appointments. Patients can come on board and receive an excellent clinical experience for early diagnosis and appropriate treatment, which helps to ease pressure on primary care and busy GP surgeries across the region.
