Consultant-Led Iron Deficiency Care & Diagnostics
Low iron drains far more than your energy. It can leave you breathless, foggy and unable to keep up with everyday life. Iron deficiency happens when your body does not hold enough iron to make haemoglobin, the protein that carries oxygen around your blood to your organs and tissues.
Too often, this gets brushed off as ordinary tiredness. In reality, it needs proper medical attention. Our Birmingham clinic gives you direct access to experienced consultants, so you can skip the long NHS waiting lists and get an accurate diagnosis and fast treatment straightaway.
Specialist Clinical Consultations
You sit down with a consultant for an unhurried, in-depth chat about your symptoms, diet, and medical history.
Advanced Iron Blood Panels
We run highly accurate blood tests to measure your ferritin, transferrin saturation and full blood count, so we know exactly where your iron levels stand.
Targeted IV Iron Therapy
If your results confirm a clear deficit, your consultant designs a treatment plan tailored to you, delivering iron directly into your bloodstream via an IV infusion to quickly and safely top up your stores.
Nutrition & Lifestyle Support
Restoring your iron is only the start. Our team provides tailored nutrition advice and assesses your gut health to help prevent the deficiency from returning and protect your energy in the long term.

As Seen On
Symptoms We Investigate At Our IV Iron Clinic Birmingham
We do far more than offer a quick chat. We conduct thorough clinical assessments to get to the root of your symptoms and protect your long-term health. Led by experienced private specialists in Birmingham, we look closely at concerns such as:
Chronic Fatigue & Low Energy
You wake up shattered despite a full night’s sleep, or you struggle to get through the day. It is a classic sign of iron deficiency because your body cannot transport oxygen efficiently.
Shortness of Breath & Palpitations
You feel breathless after light effort, such as climbing the stairs, or you notice your heart racing or fluttering as it works harder to pump oxygen.
Brain Fog & Poor Concentration
You find it hard to focus, remember things or think clearly. Your brain needs a steady supply of iron to stay sharp through the day.
Hair Loss & Brittle Nails
You notice more hair shedding than usual, or nails that chip and split easily. When iron levels run low, your body prioritises it for vital organs, pulling it away from hair and nails.
Pale Skin & Cold Hands and Feet
Your skin looks unusually pale, especially inside the lower eyelids, and your hands and feet stay cold because of poor circulation and low haemoglobin.
Muscle Weakness & Slow Recovery
Your muscles feel heavy and weak, and you take much longer to bounce back after exercise because too little oxygen reaches your muscle tissue.
Our Advanced Diagnostic Services
We rely on precise testing to show exactly what is happening inside your blood.
Comprehensive Iron Profile
The gold-standard check for iron health. We measure your serum iron, ferritin (your iron stores), Total Iron-Binding Capacity (TIBC) and transferrin saturation.
Full Blood Count (FBC)
We look at the size and number of your red blood cells, along with your haemoglobin and haematocrit, to see whether your deficiency has progressed to anaemia.
B12 & Folate Screening
We check these key B vitamins because low B12 or folate can mimic or coexist with iron deficiency, so we treat the whole picture.
Inflammatory Markers (CRP)
We test your C-Reactive Protein because inflammation can artificially raise ferritin and hide a true iron shortage.
What to Expect During Your IV Iron Treatment
Before Your Appointment
You fill in a short symptom and lifestyle questionnaire before you arrive, giving your consultant a clear picture of your health history. We send you simple, easy-to-follow instructions well in advance.
During Your Consultation
Your consultant takes the time to understand your symptoms, your diet and any treatments you have already tried, such as iron tablets that did not agree with you. We never rush your appointment.
Your Blood Test
Our clinical team collects your blood samples in the clinic and sends them to our trusted laboratory the same day for fast, accurate analysis, providing a complete baseline of your iron stores and red blood cells.
Your IV Iron Infusion
Once we confirm a deficit, your consultant sets up your infusion. They insert a tiny cannula into your arm and deliver iron directly into your bloodstream for about 30 to 60 minutes. It bypasses your gut for complete absorption, so you can just relax comfortably the whole time.
Aftercare & Follow-Up
We don’t stop helping after the infusion. We check on your progress through follow-up appointments and more blood tests a few weeks later to ensure your iron levels stay safe and steady, keeping an eye on you over time.

Meet The Experts
Dr Nadir Abbas
MBBS · BA Hons · MRCP (London) · MRCP (Gastro) · FEBGH · FRCPE · PhD (Birmingham)
Director of Gut & Liver Private Services at House of Health
Dr Nadir Abbas brings the gut-health side of the picture into focus, which matters far more than most people realise. Iron deficiency very often starts in the digestive system: your gut may struggle to absorb iron, as it does with coeliac disease, IBS or inflammatory bowel disease, or there may be a hidden source of slow blood loss. As an award-winning Consultant Gastroenterologist and Hepatologist, Dr Abbas is exactly the specialist you want investigating those deeper causes.
He trained at the Queen Elizabeth Hospital liver unit, one of the largest liver transplant centres in Europe, and holds a PhD from the University of Birmingham. He has led landmark UK-wide research, contributed as a first author to British national guidance, and published widely in peer-reviewed journals. At House of Health, he oversees complex blood and metabolic test interpretation and leads a multidisciplinary team of radiologists, dietitians and nurses, so nothing behind your iron deficiency slips through.
Dr Anita Raja
MRCGP · DFSRH · LOC SDI
Co-Founder & CEO of House of Health
Dr Anita Raja leads the investigative side of your iron care. As an NHS GP with over a decade of experience, she has built her reputation on identifying the root cause of symptoms such as fatigue, rather than simply treating them on the surface. It matters with low iron, because she personally reviews your blood results in full and looks closely at your minerals, trace elements and nutrition to work out exactly why your levels have dropped.
Iron is a trace element, and this is precisely Dr Raja’s specialism. She designs bespoke blood-testing panels that measure essential minerals and detect hormonal and nutritional imbalances, then turns those results into a personalised plan to rebuild your energy and keep your levels steady. Alongside her clinical work, Dr Raja is a well-known media doctor who appears regularly on Good Morning Britain, BBC Breakfast, ITV and Sky News.
Dr Sidra Hasan
MBBS · MRCGP · DRCOG · DFSRH
Special interest in women’s health and the menopause
Dr Sidra Hasan leads primary care at House of Health. As an NHS and private GP with more than fifteen years of experience, she carries out the clinical assessment and blood tests that show whether your iron is low, and she looks at the wider picture of your health to find out why.
Iron deficiency is very common in women, and women’s health and the menopause are among Dr Hasan’s main interests. Heavy periods and hormonal changes often pull iron down, so her experience in these areas helps make sure nothing is missed before treatment begins.
Frequently Asked Questions
An Intravenous (IV) iron infusion delivers a concentrated dose of iron straight into your bloodstream through a small drip. Because it bypasses your digestive system, your body absorbs it entirely, and your iron stores recover quickly.
Iron tablets can take months to work and often upset your stomach, causing constipation, nausea or cramps. Many people also struggle to absorb iron through the gut at all, for example with coeliac disease or IBS. An IV infusion gets around all of this straightaway.
Yes. When a specialist clinical team prescribes and gives it, IV iron is very safe and effective. Our medical staff watch over you throughout the 30 to 60-minute infusion to keep you comfortable and well.
Many people notice clearer thinking, easier breathing and more energy within the first week or two, once their body finally has the iron it needs to carry oxygen properly.
Yes. Your body works as a whole, so our blood panels can check your B12, folate, and Vitamin D alongside your iron profile, giving you a complete picture and ensuring nothing slips through.
