Setting the Global Standard in Advanced UTI Management
The UTI Institute is a global accreditation and training body, founded by internationally recognised urologists to advance the diagnosis and treatment of complex and recurrent urinary tract infections. We define best practice, formalise advanced clinical standards and accredit a worldwide network of clinics committed to delivering them.
A New Benchmark in UTI Excellence
Standard UTI care often relies on outdated testing and short-course treatment models. The UTI Institute exists to move the profession forward.
Our framework is built around precision diagnostics, molecular testing, advanced therapeutic pathways and evidence-led stewardship – focused on identifying the underlying causes of infection, not just managing symptoms.
Our mission: that every patient with a UTI, anywhere in the world, can access gold-standard care – through a structured, peer-recognised accreditation pathway for the clinics that treat them.

Led by International Authorities
The UTI Institute is led by Mr Steve Foley and Professor Bob Yang, widely regarded as leading authorities in modern UTI management.
Their clinical, academic and research contributions have shaped contemporary approaches to chronic infection, bacterial biofilms and vaccine-based prevention strategies.
As invited speakers at international urological forums and contributors to leading textbooks, their work underpins the standards we teach and accredit.
One pathway, five core standards
Our accreditation pathway formalises best-in-class practice across five interconnected pillars – from first investigation through to long-term prevention.
