Therapeutic Venesection in Bristol

Therapeutic venesection is a common procedure used to manage conditions such as:

• Haemochromatosis (excess iron in the blood)
   
• Polycythaemia (high red blood cell count)
   
• Other conditions requiring reduction in blood volume as part of a medical plan
   

If your doctor or specialist has advised that venesection is part of your ongoing care, we are able to offer this service in a safe, professional clinic setting.

We are not able to advise whether you need venesection. This is a medical decision that must be made by a suitably qualified and registered medical practitioner, acting within their scope of practice.

We perform venesection only on instruction of a clinician who has:

• Confirmed your diagnosis
   
• Reviewed recent blood results
   
• Issued a clear treatment plan for frequency, volume, and monitoring
   

You will need to provide this documentation before your appointment. If you are unsure whether venesection is appropriate for your condition, please consult your doctor before booking.

• Pre-Procedure Consultation
   
• Review of your medical documentation and treatment plan
   
• Discussion of the procedure and safety checks
   
• The Venesection Procedure
   
• Removal of a specific volume of blood using sterile equipment
   
• Monitoring throughout by a trained and experienced nurse
   
• Post-Procedure Care
   
• Hydration advice and next-step guidance
   
• Follow-up summary for your prescriber if needed

• This service is for patients who have been advised by a qualified medical professional to undergo venesection. We do not provide diagnosis, clinical recommendations, or treatment plans. You must provide a signed treatment plan, diagnosis, and recent blood results (e.g. haemoglobin, ferritin, transferrin saturation). Appointments cannot proceed without this documentation.
