We are now testing urine sample for infection in the surgery.  If you think you may have a urine infection please follow the steps below:

  • Collect the appropriate sample bottle from reception.
  • Make sure you label the bottle correctly with your name, date of birth and date and time of the sample.
  • Hand the sample back to the receptionist, you will be asked to complete a short clinical form asking the reason for the test. It helps the clinician to decide on the most appropriate treatment.
