Acute uncomplicated cystitis follows a predictable clinical pattern and responds reliably to first-line antibiotics making it an ideal presentation for nurse-led management. In a general practice setting, where GP demand consistently outpaces capacity, a well-governed nurse-led UTI service means patients are seen more quickly, GPs are freed for more complex presentations, and registered nurses are practising at the level their training supports. With the introduction of the NMBA Designated Registered Nurse Prescriber endorsement from September 2025, the pathway for nurses to lead this care independently has never been clearer.

Interactive Clinical Learning

Knowledge checks, in-depth case studies, and interactive dipsticks and pathology tests put your learning into practice before you see your first patient. Every scenario is drawn from the presentations you will actually encounter in general practice.

A Complete Governance Framework

Included in this course are standing order templates, a policy and procedure document aligned with RACGP standards, and everything you need to run a nurse-led service.

Clinical Content Grounded in Evidence

All clinical content is built on the Therapeutic Guidelines (March 2025), AURA 2023, and NMBA professional standards. Antibiotic selection, eligibility criteria, and escalation thresholds reflect what Australian guidelines actually say, not a simplified version of them

Practical Tools to Support Implementation

This course includes Policy and Procedure templates, a PDSA cycle template, KPI framework, reception and nurse scripts, and a complete implementation milestone guide. You will finish with a plan, the tools to execute it, and a measurement framework to show it is working.
