‘Ask the Expert’ session with Dr Jon Rees on recurrent UTI
With an estimated 10 million consultations linked to the condition each year1, urinary tract infections remain one of the most common infections reported in primary care2. Despite this, patients often go undetected. Are the limitations of current testing methods contributing to the rise of recurrent UTI and does the role of antibiotics in the prevention of recurrent urinary tract infection (rUTI) need reviewing to support AMR strategies?
Join chair of the Primary Care Urology Society, Dr Jon Rees to discuss advice on how to confidently diagnose and treat recurrent UTI in primary care, in some cases, without the need for antibiotics or a referral to secondary care.
