What is an iron infusion?
An iron infusion delivers IV iron directly into your bloodstream — bypassing the digestive system entirely. No nausea, no constipation, no waiting months for tablets to work.
The treatment uses ferric carboxymaltose, a NICE-recommended IV iron that has been administered thousands of times across the UK. A single session can deliver up to 1000mg of iron — what would otherwise take over five months of oral supplements.

Who is iron infusion for?
Iron deficiency affects 1 in 5 women in the UK. It doesn't get better on its own — and iron tablets don't always work. Iron infusion is recommended when timing matters:
Surgery scheduled?
Low haemoglobin can delay or cancel your operation. A single iron infusion raises your levels in 1–2 weeks — faster than months of tablets. We see you this week.
Book before your surgeryTrying for a baby?
Higher iron levels are linked to improved conception rates. If your fertility clinic has flagged low iron, or you're preparing for IVF, we restore your levels in one session — no 12–18 month NHS wait.

Full monitoring is provided throughout your appointment.
Generally, a ferritin level below 30 µg/L may indicate a need for iron infusion — but it depends on your symptoms and overall clinical picture. Dr Ros will assess your individual situation during consultation.

If you have symptoms of iron deficiency — fatigue, brain fog, hair loss, breathlessness — and iron tablets haven't helped, or if you've been diagnosed with low ferritin, book a consultation. Dr Ros will assess whether an infusion is right for you.
Yes — pre-surgery iron infusion is one of our most common treatments. If your surgeon or anaesthetist has flagged low haemoglobin, we can see you this week. Monday consultation, Thursday infusion. Don't risk losing your surgery slot to low iron levels.
