Assessment, Prescription and Aftercare
Following your assessment, clinicians provide personalised treatment plans tailored to your symptoms, medical history, and any drug allergies. Where appropriate, a recommended antibiotic will be prescribed with dosing, duration, and safety information. For those not requiring antibiotics, we offer symptomatic treatment and self-care advice. We include guidance on when to seek urgent help and provide follow-up options if symptoms persist or worsen. All consultations are documented and available to you securely so you can review treatment recommendations at any time.

When testing is appropriate
Urine Testing and Lab Support
While many uncomplicated UTIs are diagnosed clinically, your clinician may recommend urine testing in specific scenarios, such as recurrent infections, treatment failure, or atypical symptoms. A urine sample can identify the causative bacteria and its antibiotic sensitivities, helping to refine treatment. If tests are needed, we will advise on the correct collection method and arrange for laboratory analysis where appropriate. Test results are reviewed by the clinician and used to adjust therapy if required, ensuring the most effective and targeted care.
How the service works
Treatment
Impetigo requires prompt treatment from a pharmacy to prevent it from spreading to others. The first step in treatment is to keep the affected area clean and dry. Antibiotic ointments and creams are often prescribed as the first line of defense against this condition.
Causes
Impetigo is a highly contagious skin infection that is caused by bacteria, such as Staphylococcus aureus or Streptococcus pyogenes, and commonly affects children due to their weakened immune system.
Complications
Impetigo can lead to serious complications such as cellulitis, sepsis, and even lifelong scarring, making it crucial to seek prompt treatment and practice proper hygiene to prevent its spread.

Key Service Points
Our service focuses on uncomplicated adult UTIs: single-episode lower urinary symptoms without fever or systemic signs. During the consultation, clinicians assess risk factors, allergies, and medication interactions.

Patients receive guidance on hydration, pain management, and strategies to reduce recurrence. We emphasise safe prescribing and will refer for urgent in-person care if symptoms suggest a complicated or upper urinary tract infection.
