NHS LUTS Clinic
Dr Rajvinder Khasriya
​
In order to be referred to this service, an NHS consultant must fill out the appropriate referral form and send it back to the email address below. They do not accept self, GP or private referrals.
Appointment Co-ordinator and Clinic Receptionist: Caitlin
Telephone: 020 3288 3898
Email for Booking: lutscommunityadmin.whitthealth@nhs.net
​
The NHS clinic is located at the Whittington Hospital, Magdala Avenue, London, N19 5NF. The clinic is at 4C Outpatients and is clearly signposted.
​
Your first appointment will be an onsite urine analysis. The urine sample needs to be fresh, i.e. no more than two hours old, so it can be looked at immediately, as a delay in examination can affect the accuracy of results.
The tests are different to standard NHS urine testing so a sample at your local clinic would not be appropriate.
Following the urine analysis, they will organise a telephone appointment to discuss the next steps and treatment. Patients are expected to travel to the clinic to provide the sample, regardless of their location in the country. Occasionally, they can offer a telephone appointment without urine analysis, although clinicians will not be able to make significant changes to your treatment.
Treatment is reviewed every 12 weeks although a follow-up may be booked sooner to see if you are responding to the regime.

Email for Booking:
contact@focusmedicalclinic.co.uk
Tel: 01782 703007
​
Medical Secretary:
Jodie Beech
Due to medical insurance regulations, Dr Anderson will only treat patients from UK and Ireland
Dr Anderson’s interest in some of the more challenging cases of long-standing microbial infections, including urinary tract infections (UTIs,) paved the way for the Focus Medical Clinic. Having encountered the fears and frustrations of many longstanding UTI sufferers, she saw a need for a specialised facility to test and treat them in a respectful way.
Motivated by her interest in this area, Dr Anderson travelled to Russia, Poland and the United States, where she observed how therapies used in recurrent infection have successfully helped a wide range of patients.
Dr Anderson continues to research this challenging and misunderstood disease area. Her scientific background affords her an in-depth understanding of the causes and the most appropriate treatment. Dr Anderson uses a variety of established treatments in a targetted approach and complements them with naturopathic remedies to provide a treatment plan tailored to the individual.
Alongside this approach, Dr Anderson is actively involved in the research and development of new treatments which she hopes will offer even better prospects to her growing list of patients.
​
“I feel incredibly privileged to do a job that I find both stimulating and rewarding. My role gives me the opportunity to keep abreast of the latest research and developments in the field of medicine. This allows me to bring my knowledge and enthusiasm to the care and well being of my patients.”
