Frequently Asked Questions

You will need to come into clinic for a short period of time before the infusion, for the duration of the infusion and you will then be asked to stay for further monitoring for about 30 minutes after the infusion. The toal appointment is usually an hour but  the clinician may want to monitor you for longer.
Oral iron is used initially to treat iron deficiency anaemia. Sometimes this does not produce enough of an improvement, or it may be that your doctor needs to replenish your iron quickly. Intravenous iron is used when oral iron has been tried or if it is not suitable and it helps to reduce the use of blood transfusions.

If left unaddressed, iron deficiency can have significant long-term health consequences.

I was extremely low on iron and can’t take iron tablets. The NHS couldn’t help me quickly enough and I honestly feared for my life.
I had two iron infusions and now feel back to good health.
The staff , doctors and the nurse were second to none .
They suggested I get further checks done via my GP so as to find the reasons why I had such a dangerously low level .
My GP sent an urgent request to the hospital and I have just had an endoscopy, a colonoscopy and a CT scan and await the results.
None of this would have been possible to be completed within 4 weeks without Chequers help and advice.
Thank you for giving me my life back.
