Why Newport patients choose IronOx Clinic
Newport is the third-largest city in Wales, with a population of over 150,000 — yet there is no dedicated iron infusion clinic anywhere in the city. If your GP suspects iron deficiency, the standard path is a referral into Aneurin Bevan University Health Board and a wait of 12–18 months.
That is a long time to live with exhaustion, brain fog, and hair loss when effective treatment exists. Our specialist iron infusion service in Cardiff is just 25 minutes from Newport — dedicated entirely to iron infusion therapy, with trained medical professionals overseeing every infusion. No referral needed, and appointments are available this week.
Many of our patients come from Newport, Cwmbran, Pontypool, and surrounding Gwent towns. The short journey across the M4 gives you access to specialist care that simply does not exist closer to home.

Parking: Free on-street parking is available on Cathedral Road and surrounding residential streets. There are also pay-and-display bays nearby on Sophia Gardens and Pontcanna Street.
