Urinary Tract Infection Service
UTIs are common in women and while they can be very uncomfortable, they are usually easy to treat, especially when diagnosed on time.
We're offering the NHS UTI Service in our pharmacy.
Most cases of UTIs require treatment which we will be able to offer without needing to see a GP.
Our pharmacists are fully qualified to advise on your treatment options based on your symptoms - which may include prescription medications.
