Our Vitamin D Clinic, delivered in partnership with Get A Drip, offers a convenient, medically led service designed to identify and correct vitamin D deficiency quickly, safely, and effectively. Vitamin D deficiency is increasingly common in the UK and can contribute to symptoms such as fatigue, low mood, frequent illness, muscle aches, and reduced overall wellbeing. Many individuals are unaware that their levels are low, or continue to feel suboptimal despite taking oral supplements, which can vary in absorption and effectiveness.
This clinic provides a simple and efficient solution. Using a quick finger-prick blood test, your vitamin D levels are measured on-site, with accurate results available within just 15 minutes. Following this, a qualified prescribing pharmacist will assess your results, check for any clinical considerations, and recommend a personalised treatment plan tailored to your needs and lifestyle. For those found to be deficient, we offer a course of vitamin D injections administered intramuscularly every two weeks for three months (7 injections in total). This method delivers the full dose directly into the muscle, bypassing the limitations of oral supplementation and supporting a more reliable and effective correction of deficiency.
Treatment plans typically consist of a structured course of injections over several weeks, followed by maintenance if required to sustain optimal levels. The clinic is designed with convenience in mind, offering short appointment times and minimal disruption to your day. It is particularly suited to busy individuals who want a proactive, medically guided approach to improving their health .By bringing this service into a community pharmacy setting, we aim to improve access to preventative healthcare and help bridge the gap left by reduced NHS provision.
Our goal is to support the local community in optimising health, improving energy, and preventing longer-term complications associated with deficiency. Appointments are limited to every other Thursday, so early booking is strongly recommended to avoid disappointment.
