The system of Specimen Collection is flawed .I suspect this is deliberate & another Metoo issues as many people making the decisions such as NHS committees & CCG are men with financial bias .Even Doctors on CCGs mainly directed by their employers who given our funds to balance their inappropriate management of LAs & hospitals .

Now they can't even give you a collection container to pour.The admin under remit are doing the testing inappropriately not checking times or giving reports or follow ups correctly.

When my appts of 30+ years 3 weekly are deliberately not transferred on moving house when sepsis/pyuria has been proved affecting heart, brain, spine when research proved underlying disability .You have to ask why when those dealing with including GPs & Emergency Doctors do not understand history, the words retention , voiding & flow & catheterisation?

When even the Specialists on contracts & remits being directed oh dear ?! By the Insurance Companies refusng cover as pre existng while the NHS ignores until becomes fatal ?!!

NB Below shows sepsis when Remits meant severe spinal disc prolapse, scoliosis nerve compression Kyphosis ignored by A&E & Walk ins not testing .I had to pay for expensive MRI to research why ??!!

Sign The Petition

1 in 4 people in the UK will not receive an accurate diagnosis or correct treatment from their doctor because the urine sample - clinically known as a specimen - they provided was unreliable or contaminated.

We want to Make Urine Samples Trustworthy – we are the MUST Campaign.

The problem

Like blood tests, urine tests are used to diagnose lots of diseases and illnesses. Unlike blood tests, urine tests aren’t collected in a consistent or reliable way. There is no set way to take a urine sample and that makes them unreliable and untrustworthy.

What do we want?

At the MUST Campaign, we are calling on the UK Government and the Department of Health to set a standard of urine sample collection that has to be followed across the country. We are campaigning for a set of guidelines that will lead to accurate diagnoses and treatment for patients.

Sign the petition today and join the call to make urine specimens trustworthy.

"The diagnosis of a urine infection is a 'dog's breakfast.' Most patients presenting to the primary care sector will have their urine tested with a dipstick test and that is grossly insensitive.

"The sensitivity is so weak that you cannot possibly make a judgment of disease on that evidence."
