NPA UTI Training (online)(Member)

This online course has been developed by our in-house clinical team and it is designed to support Community Pharmacists who have set up a service to assess patients with UTI symptoms. It is based on the most up to date guidance available from November 2019 including NICE and NHS England. By offering this service to their patients, Community Pharmacies meet the requirements to gain the Healthy Living Pharmacy (HLP) Level 1.

The online training course objectives are:

1. To understand the steps involved in taking a person’s clinical history, including their medicines, for the purposes of a UTI assessment
2. To apply tools and techniques to demonstrate a structured person-centred approach to clinical history taking
3. To apply evidence and guidance to support clinical reasoning and engage the patient in shared decision making
4. To be aware of the guidance for hand washing in a clinical setting
5. To understand the basic clinical examination associated with a UTI and the skills to perform a urinary assessment – women aged 18-65 years
6. To interpret and apply urinalysis results to aid clinical diagnosis and decisions
7. To identify presenting red flags in the consultation to enable safe, effective, ‘warm’ clinical transfer of the patient
8. To be aware of the relevant NICE guidelines and access to these for further reading
9. To safely and effectively close the consultation including safety netting, signposting and referral when necessary
10. To complete an accurate and concise clinical record to support data sharing across healthcare settings
