Project update: 9 Jun 2021
The design team has developed new pathways for patients to ensure more efficient testing for UTIs in primary care settings. The proposed pathways are more in line with user needs, and are based on participant insights and feedback from project participants (people who have had experience of UTI and healthcare professionals). We’ve developed a video to communicate the different pathways to project participants.
Pathways
The pathways were split into two potential locations, GP and pharmacy, with the criteria being as follows:
- GP non complex (females aged 16-65 with no underlying conditions)
- GP complex (repeat infections, underlying conditions, men and children)
- Pharmacy (females 16-65, no underlying conditions or repeat infections)
Animation
We’ve developed an animation video, in collaboration with Nifty Fox, that depicts clearly the different pathways.
Next steps
Next steps are to share this animation with healthcare professionals and participants to get their feedback to further inform the project. We are also developing an animation video of the final concept for the UTI testing device.
