Can I get an out of hours gp appointment for a UTI?

I can't, can I? I'll have to wait until tomorrow morning

Of course you can. UTIs can turn nasty.

Yes and if you’re struggling call 11 - twice they’ve sorted me out with an appointment within 6 hours. Don’t wait - it’s very uncomfortable, and could potentially get worse.

Get well soon!

I would.

I didn't last month, it started on the Saturday night and I left it until Monday, appointment was late afternoon. The first lot of antibiotics didn't touch it. It spread to my kidneys, I'm still having issues now.

Call out of hours and get some antibiotics.

When I had symptoms of UTI on a weekend I phoned the OOH number and the doctor sent a prescription for antibiotics to the chemist for me to pick up. Didn't need an actual in person appointment

Thanks. The trouble is, even if I got an out of hours appointment now, there are no pharmacies that would be open at this time on a Sunday - not even the hospital one.

I'm actually feeling a bit better at the moment so I'll just book an appointment tomorrow morning - at my surgery they release some at 7am on an online booking system, so hopefully I'll get one in the morning.
