Today is #BiomedicalScienceDay2025 We’re recognising the Biomedical Scientists, Clinical Scientists and lab staff #BehindEveryTest. Their expertise underpins 1.5 billion tests a year - vital to 85% of patient pathways. They are #AtTheHeartOfHealthcare.

Thank you for joining us on the urine bench today! 👋🏻 We hope this has given some insight into how the microbiology laboratory helps to diagnose UTIs and guide treatment, as well as how you can spot the signs and symptoms of UTIs and help to prevent them.

⚠️🩺 If you are experiencing any UTI symptoms, please visit nhs.uk/conditions/uri… for further info, or speak to a pharmacist or your GP. Don’t delay, UTIs can lead to kidney infections or even sepsis if left untreated.
