We are a private clinic specialising in intravenous iron infusions for patients suffering from iron deficiency and anaemia. Regardless of whether you know you have iron deficiency, or whether you’re concerned you have the symptoms, we can help. Patients can book directly wit The Iron Clinic and we also take referrals form healthcare specialist.
The first step of the process is to attend for a Consultation with one of our specialist doctors. This is important as it is necessary to review every case, the blood results and undertake the necessary history behind the cause of iron deficiency. The consultation will also provide information on your choices as well as all the information about the iron infusion, potential benefits and risks. We also provide information and guidance, particularly in follow up to ensure that the cause of iron deficiency is managed with a clear plan. Following this, we will organise your booking for an IV Iron Infusion (usually within days).
If you are insured, this is a similar but different administrative process, please take note of our Insured Section below (this is dictated by the insurers not us!).
We require you to have a Full Blood Count and also Iron studies (Ferritin). The test needs to be current i.e. to have been undertaken within the last 6 weeks. It is also useful, but not obligatory, that you have a full screen for Thyroid, Liver, Electrolytes, B12 and Folate (ideally within the last 2 years). If you require a blood test, we can send you a form for TDL in London or you can use MEDICHECKS online (code THEIRONCLINIC20 for 20% discount) . Please contact us if you would like us to arrange a test for you prior to your consultation (at discounted rates). We receive the results directly into our system so your assigned doctor can review prior to your appointment with us.
All our consultations are with one of our experienced doctors and are undertaken online as a video call. The length of the consultation is 30 minutes. The consultation includes a full detailed discussion to go through your blood results and your treatment options. The aim of the consultation is to prepare you so you know exactly what to expect if you decide to attend for an iron infusion. We are proud to deliver the highest standards of care and aim to create an environment where you feel reassured, confident and informed during the whole experience.
If you require any advice prior to booking an appointment, please don’t hesitate to contact us. The best way to contact us, is to complete our Enquiry Form which guides you through a series of questions which help us provide you with a comprehensive response to your enquiry.

You will need to confirm your authorisation from the insurance company to book under ‘The Iron Clinic’
To book we will require your:
It is worth noting that insurance companies have fixed policies and processes (also discounted payment rates)
The insurance companies may well require you to have a GP/ specialist referral for a consultation and/or iron infusion. The Iron Clinic cannot do this for you and please do not call us to ask us to manage your insurance. We are not able to do this as it is between the customer and their insurance company.
If you do not have a referral, you can attend The Iron Clinic for a self-funding consultation and use the consultation report as a referral letter for the iron infusion. It may also be possible to seek retrospective authorisation for the consultation (and hence reclaim the consultation fees) however this is in no way guaranteed.
Please note: The administration and additional paperwork for your insurance process is not something The Iron Clinic are able to manage for you as this is specific to your policy and your agreement with the insurance company charges can vary considerably between companies. We do require that these aspects and authorisation codes are organised in advance. The customer is liable for any excess or invoices refused by insurers. All accounts should be settled on the day of treatment unless prior arrangements are in place. We accept all major credit cards. Failure to pay will be politely chased. However, accounts that remain in debt after 2 weeks will be passed to Redwood Collections, a late payment fee of £65 be added to your account and you will be liable for all subsequent charges incurred including time for either admin staff (£50p.h.) or consultant staff (£400p.h.).
