Update information

July 2022: Changes have been made to align this quality standard with the updated NICE guideline on urinary tract infection in under 16s. Statement 1 on presentation with unexplained fever has been removed because it is no longer supported by the source guidance. Links, definitions and source guidance sections have also been updated throughout.
