We would like to remind patients of our protocol for treating urine infections (UTI).
Men and Children with UTIs need to see a GP in an appointment with a fresh urine sample, nurses cannot treat these.
Women need an appointment with a GP or Nurse please make an appointment.
Urine samples cannot be dropped into surgery without an appointment, please also do not expect to sit and wait whilst we test a urine. They are tested when the Nurses booked clinic finishes, ideally before 12 incase the sample has to be sent to the lab for testing.
You must only provide a sample in the containers we have at the surgery due to risk of contamination to the urine.
Advice regarding at home treatment of UTIs can be found here.
