Your body needs iron to make haemoglobin (Hb) — a part of red blood cells that carries oxygen in the blood. This condition is called iron deficiency anaemia and can result in fatigue. Your doctor may recommend an iron infusion to treat this—a medical procedure where iron is given directly into your bloodstream through a vein.

Our GPs work with immunologists to arrange the treatment of allergies through allergen desensitisation (OR “a desensitisation service”). Allergen desensitisation relieves allergy-induced-distress by reducing the severity of symptoms.
