Acute Respiratory Infection Hub
What is the Acute Respiratory Infection (ARI) Hub?
The ARI Hub offers patients who have an acute respiratory infection / chronic condition (such as Asthma or COPD) an appointment with a GP or ACP to assess their condition and treat as required.
As part of the ARI Hub, we are now also running a Spirometry Service.
Spirometry is an assessment test that measures your lung function. The test shows how well you breathe in and out which can be affected by lung diseases such as COPD and Asthma.
Who can be referred?
The ARI Hub is available to patients who are registered in the East Riding of Yorkshire. Please contact your GP or NHS 111 to get an appointment with this service.
The Spirometry Service is open to patients registered at the Park Surgery, The Driffield Medical Centre, Eastgate Medical Group and Leven & Beeford Medical Practice. Please contact your GP to be referred into this service.
