Get A Drip

Get A Drip: IV therapies and longevity with clinical supervision in the UK

Get A Drip is a British clinic specialising in IV vitamin therapies, booster injections, diagnostics and longevity treatments. It operates in physical clinics and online, with mobile at-home services in various areas of the UK. The company presents itself as the UK's leading longevity clinic and claims to have administered over 300,000 treatments across IV drips, vitamin injections and longevity services.

Origin and history

The idea for Get A Drip came from founder Richard Chambers after a stay in intensive care in 2010 due to complications from his type 1 diabetes. Over the following seven years, his immune issues led him to receive IV treatments frequently. Noticing their revitalising effects, he decided that these therapies should be accessible to the general public and not restricted to hospitals or the wealthy. After seven years of research with his friend Dr. Calcasola and studying the work of Dr. John Myers, a pioneer of vitamin drips, Get A Drip opened in October 2017.

IV drips and vitamin injections

The IV drip range includes options such as the Hydration Drip, MultiVit Drip, Energy Drip (Myers Cocktail), Immunity Drip, Iron Infusion, Detox Drip, Alpha-Lipoic Acid Drip, Calm Drip, Double Detox Drip, Limitless Drip, Anti-Ageing Drip, Fitness Drip, Hair Health Drip and NAD+ Drip. It also offers drip extras, such as high-dose vitamin C, Ultra Energy+ Drip, Signature Drip and Skin Health Drip, as well as express drip packages.

Vitamin injections include vitamin B12, NAD+, glutathione detox, CoQ10 recovery, vitamin D, biotin and vitamin B complex.

Longevity services and diagnostics

The company offers longevity services covering compression therapy, cryotherapy, hyperbaric oxygen therapy, infrared sauna, iron infusion and diagnostics, online nutritionist, ozone therapy, pelvic floor chair and photobiomodulation (red light therapy or PBM).

In diagnostics, Get A Drip performs blood tests measuring over 40 clinically selected biomarkers across metabolic, hormonal and nutritional systems, with the aim of detecting risks early and offering personalised next steps from its clinical team. It also offers diagnostic services such as DNA and gut tests, plus a full range of blood tests.

Weight loss programme and sexual health

The clinic has a weight loss programme with clinically proven treatments, personalised online plans, ongoing support and resources. The eligibility assessment is done online and treatment is delivered directly to the home. It also offers personalised treatment for erectile dysfunction, focused on sexual health, energy and confidence.

Clinical team and regulation

The practice is doctor-led and regulated by the Care Quality Commission (CQC) for treatment, diagnosis and protection, maintenance or restoration of health. The team of healthcare professionals consists of GMC-registered doctors, NMC-registered nurses, HCPC-registered paramedics and GPhC-registered pharmacists. All drips and injections are administered by medical staff.

Products come from Get A Drip Pharma, a GPhC-registered pharmacy. Before receiving each batch of nutrients, tests are carried out for sterility, pH, osmolarity, tonicity, stability and endotoxicity. The IV nutrients used are free from preservatives, gluten, genetically modified organisms, sugar and heavy metals, are vegan-friendly and contain no traces of animal origin.

Clinic network and mobile services

Get A Drip operates six clinics in London and offers mobile services across the UK. Locations mentioned include Battersea, Canary Wharf, Chiswick, High Street Kensington, King's Road, Kingston, Lakeside, Leatherhead, Manchester Central, Newcastle, Pinner, Redbridge, Richmond, Salford, Shoreditch, Solihull, Temple Street, Thurrock, Westfield London and York. Some of these sites are identified as mobile or pop-up services. The company has also opened clinics in locations such as Boxpark Shoreditch, Westfield London, King's Road, Westfield Stratford City, Canary Wharf, Lakeside Shopping Centre and Junction 6 in Dublin.

Prior medical consultation and treatment conditions

All IV vitamin drips and injections require a free medical consultation before the medical professional selects the treatment. The company offers free consultations for all its clients and recommends, as a rough average, a drip about once a month, although it insists that each person should listen to their own body. People who are breastfeeding can receive the Basic Hydration Drip, Multivit Drip and vitamin D, B complex and vitamin B12 injections. Drips or injections are not administered to people who are pregnant or actively undergoing IVF.

The company states that it does not share client information with third parties and that its policy is not to sell or transfer private data. Any use of personal information for purposes other than the specific treatment would only be done upon express request and with the client's approval.
