The management of recurrent urinary tract infections within a nurse-led urology team.

ABSTRACT

The aim of this article is to share experience and learning of managing recurrent urinary tract infections (UTIs) within a specialist urology nurse-led team based at a district general hospital. It looks at current practice and supporting evidence for how to manage and treat recurrent UTIs in both male and female patients. Two case studies are presented to illustrate the management strategies and outcomes, demonstrating a planned approach that informs the design of a local management guideline to organise patients' care.
