What is a UTI?
A UTI is an infection that can occur in any part of the urinary system, including the bladder, kidneys, ureters, and urethra. In women, UTIs are more common due to the shorter length of the urethra, making it easier for bacteria to enter the urinary tract. At Rose Pharmacy in London, our Pharmacy First service offers immediate consultations and expert guidance to provide swift relief from UTIs.
Symptoms:
- Pain or burning sensation during urination
- Frequent urge to urinate
- Cloudy or strong-smelling urine
- Lower abdominal pain or discomfort
How Rose Pharmacy Can Help
- Immediate Consultations: Through the Pharmacy First service at Rose Pharmacy, you can receive a rapid assessment for UTI symptoms without needing to see a GP. Our trained pharmacists provide same-day, confidential consultations, ensuring you get the care you need quickly.
For eligible patients, this may include NHS-funded antibiotic treatment supplied on the same day, where clinically appropriate. - Over-the-counter Solutions: If your symptoms do not require antibiotics — or if they fall outside NHS eligibility — our pharmacists can guide you toward safe and effective over-the-counter remedies to help ease discomfort and support recovery.
- Personalised Support: Our clinicians will offer clear, tailored guidance on symptom management, hydration, self-care measures, and ways to help reduce the risk of future UTIs.
-
Private Clinician Consultations (If Not NHS-Eligible): If you do not meet the NHS Pharmacy First criteria — for example due to age, pregnancy, recurrent UTIs, or certain symptoms — you may still be able to receive care at Rose Pharmacy.
Our Clinicians can provide a separate private consultation with access to a wider range of treatment options, including private prescriptions or referral recommendations when appropriate.
All private options and costs will be explained clearly so you can make an informed decision.
