We offer a dedicated IV Infusion Clinic, run daily by our experienced team of trained Registered Nurses. All infusion Drips are undertaken following an in depth consultation to discuss the risks and benefits and are overseen by a trained GP, who is onsite at all times.
GP Infusion Referrals
If you have a referral for an Iron infusion from your own GP, a script and a copy of your recent blood results, we are happy to provide that service to you. You can simply book with our practice nurse for 30mins to check the medication, review the referral and your blood results. You will then be taken to our dedicated infusion clinic for your iron infusion to be performed. Please ensure that you have your Iron (Ferrinject) script filled prior to coming to your appointment.

What is Injectable Nutrient Infusion Therapy?
IV Infusion therapies can assist patients by providing high doses of nutrients through a drip, or injection. Treatment is tailored to the diagnosed clinical needs of each patient.
Injectable Nutrient Therapies can assist patients who have poor nutrient absorption, chronic fatigue, acute and chronic infections, or significant nutrient deficiencies that would benefit from rapid correction. Infusions allow nutrients to enter the bloodstream directly, bypassing the stomach and intestines, thereby achieving much higher concentrations than when taken orally.
This treatment does not replace a balanced diet and nutrition plan. It may however, assist patients with deficiencies that prevent adequate nutrition and dietary intake from being absorbed by the body, preventing therapeutic levels from being obtained. Injectable nutrient therapy can support conventional medical treatments to better assist patients to achieve optimal outcomes. This treatment should only be undertaken following a thorough consultation by a trained General practitioner, where clinical need is determined to be appropriate.
Treatment time varies depending on the individual, but we recommend allowing up to 2 hours. The frequency of your treatment depends on many variables and should be discussed with your GP in a scheduled appointment. These factors should be closely & routinely monitored in private consultation with your GP.
While IV infusions are generally safe and well tolerated, some side effects may occur. These can include staining, pain, bruising, or swelling at the injection site, infection, thirst and diuresis. The amount of benefit to the patient may vary depending on the condition being treated, concentration provided, depth of original deficiency and individual response to the treatment. In some cases a single dose may bring significant relief, in other cases a longer course of treatment may be required. Please discuss your individual case with your GP.
