GP respiratory clinic

Respiratory symptoms are symptoms that make it difficult to breathe. GP respiratory clinics are for anyone who is experiencing respiratory symptoms and needs to see a GP face to face or over telehealth. Even if you have COVID-19 and can’t see your regular GP, you can book an appointment at a GP respiratory clinic.
