The Lower Urinary Tract Service (LUTS) at the Whittington Health NHS Trust (WHT) clinic provides treatments to patients with urinary tract infections which includes prescribing antibiotics.

The Trust has been working to address the recommendations of the Royal College of Physicians following a service review of the LUTS, before the clinic is re-opened to new patients. The Trust is currently in negotiations with commissioners to establish the re-opening of the clinic in the 2018/19 contract.

The service specification will be reviewed within 12 months of the clinic re-opening to new referrals. Patients who might previously have been referred to WHT will remain under the care of their own clinicians locally.
