Your appointment

What happens at your appointment

Vitamin B12 helps keep your nerves and blood cells healthy. We check your health first, then give the injection.

How it works

  • Health questions

    We ask about your health, diet and medicines to make sure the injection is suitable.

  • Quick injection

    The injection is given into a muscle, usually in your upper arm.

  • In and out quickly

    The appointment is usually short.

  • Plan your next one

    We advise how often you may want further injections.

Before and after

  • Before your appointment

    • Wear a top that lets us reach your upper arm
    • Tell us about any medicines and allergies
    • Let us know if you have a B12 deficiency diagnosis

  • Afterwards

    • A little soreness where the injection went is common
    • Contact us if you feel unwell
    • Book your next injection if advised

Important safety informationB12 injections do not replace medical care for diagnosed pernicious anaemia; keep following your GP's plan. If you have numbness, weakness or problems with your memory or balance, please see your GP.
