Iron (Deficiency and Infusion) Clinic

The Iron Clinic investigates and treats iron deficiency. Intravenous iron infusions can be provided if indicated.

Who we care for

We care for people needing investigation and treatment of iron deficiency, including patients:

with unclear iron study results requiring further assessment
with iron deficiency of unknown origin
with confirmed iron deficiency needing intravenous iron replacement

What you can expect

The Iron Clinic:

investigates and assesses iron deficiency
discusses possible treatment options
oversees intravenous iron infusions via the Medical Day Unit if required. Iron infusions will not be provided on the day of your assessment

Patients currently treated for iron deficiency in other departments, e.g. gastroenterology, antenatal, gynaecology, or general medicine, will continue their treatment in those departments.

Please note the following:

Iron deficiency in pregnancy should be discussed with the antenatal clinic.
Chronic kidney disease patients requiring erythropoiesis-stimulating agents are managed through the dialysis service & renal outpatient clinic.
