Pharmacist assessment before any injection

Is this right for me?

Could B12 injections be right for you?

Five quick questions to help you choose where to start. It's guidance only — a pharmacist will always assess you before any injection.

  • Takes about a minute
  • No name or contact details needed
  • A pharmacist confirms suitability at your appointment

Question 1 of 5

Have you been told you have a low vitamin B12 level?

For example by your GP or after a blood test.

This check is not a diagnosis. If you feel very unwell, contact NHS 111, or call 999 in an emergency.

Why Burntwood Clinic

B12 injections with a pharmacist who checks they are right for you first

Vitamin B12 injections are for eligible adults after an assessment. They may help if you have a diagnosed or suspected B12 deficiency — and if a deficiency has not been confirmed, we will say so and suggest a blood test first.

  • Assessment before any injection

    Your pharmacist asks about your diet, your medical history, your symptoms and the medicines you take, and checks whether a B12 injection is appropriate for you.

  • Not been tested? Start there

    If a deficiency has not been confirmed, we will recommend a B12 blood test first rather than injecting. It is the honest starting point, and it means any treatment is based on a result.

  • Given by a pharmacist, not a clinic you have never been to

    Your appointment is with a GPhC-registered pharmacist at the pharmacy on Chasetown High Street, and you can speak to the same team afterwards if you have a question.

  • A private room, not the counter

    Consultations and injections take place in a private consultation room at the back of the pharmacy, so nothing is discussed in front of other customers.

  • The price is confirmed before anything goes ahead

    You will be told what it costs before any injection, including what a course would come to if more than one is appropriate.

  • Kept on record, and shared if you want

    We record what was given and when, so you have a clear history. With your consent we can share it with your GP for your NHS record.

Who it is for

  • Adults whose blood test or GP has confirmed low vitamin B12
  • People who have had B12 injections before and want to continue them privately
  • Adults following a vegan or strictly plant-based diet, where dietary B12 intake can be low
  • People who have had gastric surgery, or a condition affecting how B12 is absorbed
  • People taking medicines that can affect B12 absorption over time, such as metformin or long-term proton pump inhibitors
  • Adults in Burntwood, including Chasetown, Chase Terrace, Boney Hay and Hammerwich

B12 injections are not suitable for everyone — for example if you have had a reaction to cobalamin before, or if your symptoms may have another cause that needs looking into first. Your pharmacist will check, and will refer you to your GP where that is the right thing to do. A B12 injection is treatment for a deficiency, not a general pick-me-up.

What to expect

Your B12 appointment, step by step.

Assessment first, always. Here's what happens when you come in.

  1. Book online or call

    Choose a time that suits you — same-day appointments are often available. If you have previous blood test results or a letter from your GP, please bring them along.

  2. Pharmacist assessment

    In a private consultation room, your pharmacist asks about your diet, symptoms, medical history and any medicines you take, to check a B12 injection is appropriate for you.

  3. Your injection, if suitable

    If B12 injections are right for you, your pharmacist gives the injection into the muscle of your upper arm. The price is confirmed before anything goes ahead. If a deficiency hasn't been confirmed, they'll recommend a B12 blood test first.

  4. Aftercare and next dose

    Your pharmacist explains what to expect afterwards, including possible side effects, and advises whether and when you may need further injections.

  • How long it takesWe'll tell you how long to allow when you book.
  • Not diagnosed yet?Start with a B12 blood test — results typically within a few working days.
  • AftercareQuestions afterwards? Call the clinic and speak to a pharmacist.

    I've followed a vegan diet for years and wanted proper advice about B12. The pharmacist took the time to go through everything and explained why a blood test made sense first. Helpful and no pressure.

    Lovely private room and a very calm pharmacist. Everything was explained clearly and I knew the price before we started. Handy having it on the High Street with parking nearby.

    I'm not great with needles but the pharmacist talked me through it and was really reassuring. Easy to book around work and nobody rushed me.

Common questions

Vitamin B12 injections, answered.

Still have a question? Call the clinic on 01543 682921 to speak to a pharmacist.

  • Our B12 injection service is for adults aged 18 and over, after an assessment with a pharmacist. It may be suitable if you have a confirmed B12 deficiency, or if you're at risk — for example if you follow a vegan diet, have a condition that affects how B12 is absorbed, or take certain long-term medicines. Your pharmacist will check it's appropriate before any injection.

  • If you haven't had a low B12 level confirmed, we'll usually recommend a B12 blood test first. Symptoms like tiredness have many possible causes, and a test helps your pharmacist advise properly. You can book a B12 blood test through our blood testing service.

  • B12 injections may help if you have a B12 deficiency. They aren't a general energy boost, and tiredness can have many other causes — which is why your pharmacist assesses you first and may suggest a blood test.

  • It depends on the reason you need B12 and your test results. Your pharmacist will advise whether a single injection or a course is appropriate, and when you may need your next dose.

  • The injection is given into the muscle of your upper arm and only takes a moment. Most people feel a brief sting, and some notice soreness where it was given. Your pharmacist will explain possible side effects and what to do if you have any concerns.

  • Please speak to a pharmacist before booking. Call us on 01543 682921, or talk to your GP or midwife, so you get advice that's right for you.

  • A single B12 injection starts from £XX, a course of injections from £XX, and a B12 blood test from £XX. Your price is always confirmed before any test or injection goes ahead.

  • If your GP is treating a diagnosed condition, please keep following their advice. Our private service doesn't replace your NHS care. If you're thinking of having injections with us, talk to your pharmacist and let your GP know.
