Can a pharmacist treat a UTI?
UTI Consultation
A consultation where a specifically trained pharmacist assesses your symptoms and, if appropriate, provides or prescribes suitable treatment under their expanded scope of practice authority.
Common signs of an uncomplicated UTI include:
- A burning feeling when urinating
- Needing to urinate more often than usual
- A feeling of pressure in the lower abdomen
Key benefits:
- Fast relief without waiting for a same-day GP appointment
- Treatment on the spot in many cases
- A private, confidential consultation
What is a UTI Consultation?
This service may be suitable if you:
- Are women with any of the signs above
- Are within the eligible age range (confirmed at consultation)
This isn’t suitable for men, children, pregnant women, or symptoms suggesting a more complicated infection (such as fever, back or flank pain, or blood in the urine) — these need GP assessment.
Who May Benefit from a UTI Consultation?
UTI symptoms are assessed case by case, and eligibility for this consultation depends on ruling out a more complicated infection.
Your pharmacist will assess your individual suitability, including your relevant medical history and current symptoms, before proceeding.
This consultation is for uncomplicated UTI symptoms in eligible women only.
Fever, back or flank pain, blood in the urine, or pregnancy all need GP or urgent medical assessment instead.
Ask your pharmacist for the relevant Consumer Medicines Information (CMI) if a medicine is provided.
Important Information
Be prepared to discuss:
- Your symptoms and how longthey’ve lasted
- Whether you have any fever orback pain
- Any medicines you are currentlytaking
Your pharmacist will review your symptoms before determining whethertreatment can be provided.
The consultation may also include a prescribed treatment plan whereappropriate, or a referral to your GP if your presentation is outside scope.
What to Expect During Your Visit
Recurrent UTIs are outside the scope of this consultation and are best managed with your GP, who can investigate the underlying cause.
What if I have a fever or back pain along with UTI symptoms?
These can be signs of a more serious kidney infection - see your GP or seek urgent care rather than this consultation.
Can I use this if I'm pregnant?
No - UTI symptoms during pregnancy need to be assessed by your GP or obstetric team.
