This is an important area of research. From our experience at Serene Soul Care, providing home carer services, we often see how timely assessment and appropriate referral can make a significant difference for people, particularly older adults receiving care at home.
With initiatives like Pharmacy First, there's a growing need for accurate point-of-care UTI diagnostics that support faster decision-making and appropriate antibiotic prescribing. I'm also interested in evidence around patient experiences, costs, and current care pathways in community pharmacies and primary care. If anyone can recommend recent studies or real-world data on this topic, I'd be grateful.
