Assessment and mobile care

Phone assessments and eligible London mobile visits, explained in plain language.

How does the first assessment take place?

The first assessment is completed by phone or video. Optimise Health does not offer walk-in appointments at 21 Knightsbridge.

Are mobile IV appointments available?

Eligible mobile appointments may be arranged at homes, hotels and offices across London. Coverage depends on postcode, timing, clinician availability and the requested treatment.

Can I visit without an appointment?

No. There are no walk-in appointments. Contact the team first for a phone assessment and confirmation of the appropriate next step.

Consultation and booking

What happens before an appointment and what information the clinical team needs.

Do I need a consultation before an IV drip?

Yes. A qualified professional must review your health history, medicines, allergies and other relevant factors before treatment.

Can I choose a drip without an assessment?

You may ask about a treatment, but the final recommendation follows a clinical review. A requested protocol may be changed, postponed or declined when it is not appropriate.

What should I share with the team?

Tell the team about diagnosed conditions, current medicines and supplements, allergies, pregnancy or breastfeeding, recent illness and any requested test results.

How do I book?

Use the enquiry form at the end of this page or call the team. Include your preferred date, location and the treatment you are considering.

Treatment and suitability

General guidance about administration, timing and individual clinical decisions.

Who administers the treatment?

IV treatments are administered by qualified members of the clinical team following an individual suitability review and final checks.

How long does an IV appointment take?

Timing varies by formulation, dose and individual circumstances. The team will confirm the expected appointment length before booking.

What happens during treatment?

The clinician completes final checks, explains the agreed protocol, places the cannula and monitors administration. Tell the clinician immediately about pain, burning, swelling or feeling unwell.

Is IV therapy suitable for everyone?

No. Suitability depends on the treatment and the individual. Heart or kidney conditions, allergies, pregnancy, medicines and other factors may mean treatment is unsuitable or requires further assessment.

Pricing and preparation

How much do IV drips cost?

Prices vary by formulation, dose, clinical requirements and appointment location. The team will confirm the current total before you book.

Do mobile visits cost more?

A mobile appointment may include a travel or call-out charge based on location and timing. Any applicable fee should be confirmed before booking.

How should I prepare?

Follow the instructions provided by the clinical team. Unless advised otherwise, eat and drink normally and bring a current list of medicines and any requested clinical documents.

Aftercare and urgent help

What to expect after an appointment and where to seek help if you are concerned.

Will I receive aftercare guidance?

Yes. The clinician will explain relevant aftercare, possible side effects and how to contact the team with a routine concern.

What should I do if I feel unwell?

Follow the instructions given by your clinician. Contact the Optimise Health team for a routine concern and use NHS 111 for urgent advice when appropriate.

What should I do in an emergency?

Call 999 for a medical emergency, including severe breathing difficulty, chest pain or swelling of the face or lips. Do not rely on the website form for urgent help.
