Hemants Pharmacy - South Ockendon in South ockendon (RM155EE) provides fast, confidential NHS Pharmacy First care for lower urinary tract infections in women aged 16 to 64. Our pharmacist will evaluate your symptoms in a private room at 10 derwent parade and supply first-line antibiotics such as nitrofurantoin there and then.
A urinary tract infection (UTI) occurs when bacteria (commonly E. coli from the digestive tract) enter the urethra and travel into the bladder. Women are more susceptible because they have a shorter urethra than men. Triggers include sexual activity, dehydration, holding urine for too long, or changes in hormones.
If you experience back pain, high fever, or vomiting, this may indicate an upper kidney infection requiring prompt medical evaluation.
A woman aged 16 to 64 with symptoms of an uncomplicated lower urinary tract infection
Pregnant, male, under 16, over 65, have a catheter, or have recurrent UTIs (2+ in 6 months)
Pregnant women and men require GP investigation for UTIs and cannot be treated under the high street Pharmacy First pathway.
The pharmacist asks about your symptoms and checks that you don't have kidney infection signs in a private room.
They review your health history, kidney function considerations, and any allergies.
If a UTI is diagnosed, you will receive a 3-day course of targeted antibiotics (such as nitrofurantoin) and recovery advice.
Based on national NICE and UKHSA clinical guidelines, the pharmacist can provide:
A standard 3-day course of first-line antibiotics (nitrofurantoin or trimethoprim) to rapidly clear the bacterial infection.
Advice on hydration, soothing burning symptoms, and over-the-counter pain management.
If red flag symptoms or atypical features are present, the pharmacist coordinates swift onward GP referral.
For more information, see the NHS UTI page.
Take note of when your symptoms started. You do not need to bring a urine sample unless asked by the clinic, but tell the pharmacist about any kidney conditions, allergies, or if you could be pregnant.
The clinical assessment is completely free on the NHS. If antibiotics are supplied, standard NHS prescription charges apply unless you are exempt (e.g. medical exemption, universal credit).
