Suspected Urinary Tract Infection

In line with CCG guidelines, the practice has adopted a protocol and self-care programme for patients with a suspected urinary tract infection. Most UTI’s can be treated at home.

Possible signs or symptoms of a UTI can include:

• Pain on Urination
• Lower back or side pain
• The need to urinate more often
• Blood in the urine
• An urge to urinate
• NEW incontinence
• A recent urine infection

If you feel you have two or more signs or symptoms of a UTI, please visit our Consulting Room and submit a Get help from the Practice form.

If a urine sample is necessary to determine treatment, patients will be required to take a mid stream urine sample themselves to be tested. Information on how to do this will be provided by the admin team.
