In this episode, we're joined by Dr. David Capehorn, Honorary Associate Specialist and Expert in Paediatrics, who's been at the forefront of the Primary-Secondary Care interface for 30 years. With reference to two classic cases, David helps us navigate key learning from the new 2022 NICE guidelines on correct management of UTIs in children and his own summary article on identifying and treating UTIs promptly for under 16s.

More specifically, we discuss:

• Diagnosis


• Urine interpretation


• When to send urine for culture tests


• Immediate management


• Follow-up investigations


• Referral


• And prevention
