GIRFT Pathology Report: low midstream urine sample submission to labs

3rd December2021/in Uncategorized /by Giovanna

The recentlly published GIRFT Pathology National Speciality Report recommends that NHS and laboratory providers audit urine collection methods to meet higher sample standards.

“On our deep dives [we found] that some labs had low levels of MSU submissions … and significant variation in rejection rates for urine samples for microbiology analysis.” the report states.

“We found a six-fold variation in the rejection of urine samples from primary care and in some places 5-7% of urine samples were rejected. There was greater unwarranted variation in samples from trusts, where we found a ten-fold variation in rejection rates, with several trusts rejecting over 10% of these samples.”

A summary of the report and download can be accessed here.

Helping healthcare practitioners to remove doubt on the #urine samples they've taken. Currently 1 in 4 samples are contaminated due to the way it has been taken. These samples lead to a waste of time and money for both the #NHS and the patient. #patientcare #uti #urology #peezy
