ABOUT THE SERVICE

What is Iron Infusions?

An iron infusion delivers iron directly into your bloodstream, bypassing the gut for faster, more reliable absorption than tablets. Our nursing team administers every infusion on-site, with your comfort and safety monitored throughout.

Faster Results

Many patients notice improved energy within 1–4 weeks of their infusion.

Nurse-Supervised

Our nursing team monitors you throughout the infusion for comfort and safety.

No Gut Side Effects

Bypasses the digestive system entirely, avoiding the nausea and constipation common with iron tablets.

GP-Assessed First

Your GP confirms eligibility using your blood results before any infusion is scheduled.


Why Iron Tablets May Not Be Enough

The Problem With Oral Iron

Iron tablets are first-line treatment, but many patients experience constipation, nausea, and unreliable absorption — especially with gut conditions like coeliac disease or IBD.

When an Infusion Makes More Sense

An infusion bypasses the gut entirely, delivering a full therapeutic dose in a single session — faster and better tolerated for patients with absorption issues or severe deficiency.


What Your Blood Tests Show

Ferritin

The stored form of iron. A low ferritin is often the first sign of deficiency, even before haemoglobin drops.

Haemoglobin

Carries oxygen in red blood cells. A low level confirms iron deficiency anaemia — where symptoms become significant.
