About IV Drips (Coming Soon)
Jodie is preparing to offer nurse-led IV drip therapy at Banana Beauty Lab. Every drip will be prescribed and given by Jodie herself, a Registered Nurse and Independent Prescriber, after a face-to-face consultation.
She will look at your health, medication and what you're hoping for, and check whether a drip is actually appropriate for you. Where it would help, blood tests may be suggested first. If a drip isn't the right option, Jodie will say so and talk you through the alternatives. Prices and the list of drips will be published here at launch; register your interest and the clinic will let you know as soon as appointments open.

What to expect
Before treatment
Register your interest now. When drips launch, every appointment will start with a consultation with Jodie.
During treatment
If a drip is appropriate, Jodie places a small cannula in a vein in your arm and the drip runs while you relax in a private room. She stays with you throughout.
After treatment
You'll have time to rest afterwards and leave with clear aftercare advice.
Results & longevity
Jodie will explain what the evidence does and doesn't support for any drip before you decide. No exaggerated promises are made.
Recovery, side effects & aftercare
Most people carry on with their day afterwards. Full aftercare advice will be given at the time.
Side effects
Possible effects include a bruise or tenderness where the cannula was placed. Jodie will explain any effects specific to a drip before it is given.
Aftercare
Keep the cannula site clean and covered for a few hours, and follow the advice Jodie gives you.
Please contact the clinic if you notice redness, heat or swelling spreading from the cannula site, or feel unwell after treatment.

Your Practitioner
Jodie Gordon
Independent Nurse Prescriber
Jodie is a Registered Nurse (Adult) on the NMC register since 2000 and a Nurse Independent and Supplementary Prescriber since 2006. Her practice is built on the idea that the consultation is the most important part of any treatment: before anything is prescribed or planned, she wants to understand your history, your health and what you are hoping for, and whether it is actually the right thing for you. That sometimes means recommending less than you expected, or nothing at all, and always means an honest conversation and a plan you understand. Jodie leads the clinic's weight loss and wellness consultations and will give the IV drips when they launch. Her own site is The Prescribing Suite.
