I'm afraid that St George's Haemotology Dept have just told me that they no longer have the capacity to accept referrals from outside their area for iron infusions.

☹. I see from an earlier post that you're in North Herts There's an iron clinic in the Renal Dept who do intravenous iron therapy for iron deficiency anaemia in East & North Herts NHS in Stevenage. Presumably your GP has tried to refer you there but perhaps they won't do it for RLS?
